Not all are attracted to sharks though but they are equally passionate about their fishing. Using various kinds of baits and lures, many fisherman are seeing lots of action. Kangaroo Lake near Swan Hill provides anglers with small Murray cods and redfins, measuring 450 g. using baits like shrimps, worms and yabbies and a 70 cm lure. The Wakool River caught cods using a 65 cm lure while the Edward Rivery produced Murray cod at 80 cm lure. Mildura is not to be left behind, rewarding its patient anglers with yellowbellys at 1.5 kg. using small lures and shrimps as baits. The yellowbelly, weighing up to 2.2 kg., in Lake Eildon prefer to bite on yabbies. The yellas are from the Wilsons Inlet while the redfin stays near dead timber. For sure, if you lihe to bag a prized catch, study your baits and lures to know which one is most likely to be bitten by your fish.

Many kind of fish species prefer different kinds of bait, the same goes with sharks. Your shark fishing charters will willingly offer you their know-how on how best to catch these slippery fish. Gummy sharks in Princetown Bream are being caught on 1.1 m to 42 cm lure. In the Great Ocean Road, mako sharks in offshore fishing grounds are being caught by anglers.

Many of the anglers like to focus in just one fish species. For every kind, local fishing cahrters will know where to find the fish that you seek and how best to capture them. Many anglers, especially the more experienced ones, prefer to do the catching alone. They just use the houseboat to have access in rich fishing grounds as well as its fishing equipments.

However, if you wish for a more variety of fish, the surf beaches are the ideal places for you to find a fishing charter boat.  Tailor, mullet, silver trevally, flathead and salmon abounds in these areas so do gummy sharks, which explains the presence of shark fishing charters
