Bronze Whaler

The most targeted and desired shark to catch from shore. They can feed extremely close to shore and we often refer to them as masters of the shallows. But generally you are targeting off deep rocky points or in a deep gutter in the surf. People come from all corners of the globe to feel the strength and power of these incredible fish whose momentum is absorbed by the human body.

It is truly a supernatural feeling which engulfs one in the fight. These sharks are most well-known for the fast and long run longs they produce, often keeping the angler on engaged in the action for 45+ minutes before they reel the product of their fight – a shark of anywhere between 5 and 250kg. These beauties are built of pure muscle and have big pectoral fins that help them use both the current and sea conditions in their favour.

To ensure contact with a good bronzie session, bookings of 5 days or more are encouraged. On our best days, expect to take on over 10 of these monstrous sharks in a single day! Luckily, you can expect a cold beverage or beer to enjoy after encountering one of these amazing species, while simultaneously soaking up the glory of your catch and the bragging rights associated with it.
