Bronze Whaler Shark fishing
About Bronze Whaler Shark
A powerful coastal requiem shark that hunts in the surf zone and around bait schools, often within casting range of the beach. Land-based anglers target them with whole fish baits on heavy traces, while boat crews chase them in sardine runs. Expect a long, dogged fight rather than spectacular jumps.
Typical size: Typically 1.8 to 2.5 m and 60 to 130 kg; trophy fish exceed 3 m and 200 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 130 kg (varies by region).
