Ahh I was diving up there myself a few weeks back. The sharks can't get everyone, so don't worry about it.

 Hi mate try dropping your lures back well back from the boat. Try some of the following lures

  • Cedar plugs
  • Zukurs
  • Richter jet heads
  • Green machines
  • Black Bart pelagic breky in purple or orange and black 

Make sure you are working into the wind try to get upwind of the school but not to close as they spook easily. They will move pretty quickly so make sure you keep a good eye on any feeding birds so you know where they are heading

Otherwise the best option is to cube with mulies and get them up behind the boat. I would also use light fluorocarbon leader in 40 to 60 pound for your hooks. 

Would love to know how you go, love yellowfin fishing and pretty rare down in Perth.

also worth running laser pro 140 or 190 deep divers in a gold or red color or a rapala xrap in the 150 deep diver. Once again go for light Fluor carbon leader

Make sure you run a teaser at all times, green machine makes a wicked spreader bar whic gets them fired up

 

Good luck
