Swimbaiting False bay

You can swim harder for cob if you want to , heheheheh
We have raggies and big bronsies that will take a swim bait , but I think you will hook more whites than anything else.But prob worth a try .
Our shallow beaches dont seem very " friendly" dont know the word to swimming as the swim bait dies quickly because of the line drag ie he cant get into deeper water quickly enough and there is always a lot of line in the water .
That my personal view , also fired on by me hating to swim a bait , I will do it but dont like it much.I will swim a blueray anyday , dont like them.They can also lie on the ground and still breath while a shark cant.
Why swim if you can slide a whole bonnie and get solid pulls all the time.
But I am the wrong Guys to ask is what I am trying to say , hehehe

Which sharks other than blacktips and great whites breach the water?
I had a 200lbs throw bait trace on at platbank and had a descent pull, the fish launched itself clear of the water and spun a number of times... needless to say i had immediate slack...... the steel trace was broken close to the power swivel that was attached to my mainline

I know threshers can also launch them self when hooked. Also got chomped within seconds from the pickup on 200lbs steel some time ago. But i saw the cuplrit as he breached.
