Hey guys, Spending some time down near Esperance on the way through to Eucla and Fowler's Bay in SA. No solid plans yet but I don't want to go too far east of Esperance as I'll be heading up to Norseman and jumping on the Eyre highway after the Esperance leg. Hoping to get some tips on a nice place to set up shop in the 4x4 on the beach and get the rods in the water for a full day/late night. Happy to hook into anything but will probably try burley up and get some big bait out to chase sharks, so ideally I'd love to get away from the touristy spots (lucky bay, Wylie bay etc). Plus I don't know if freedom camping on the beach is legal in those more built up areas. Anyone been down there and can help out? Thanks

Hey guys, Looking for some tips on good beaches for shark fishing in the Sydney region. I know all beaches can get sharks with a bunch of burley and big baits, but I'd love to know if anyone has any spots that run hot over summer with consistent shark activity. Not looking for anything massive but would love to get my hands on a bronzie on the surf rod. On a similar note, would love to know if anyone has tips for minimising stingray bycatch while shark fishing- my past attempts always end in massive deadweight fights which can get frustrating when waiting for that nice shark.. Thanks legends Nige
