Thanks Kingie Chaser. Yes like anywhere it can turn on. We got onto some cobia about a month ago but mackerel are proving very difficult. Might head up to double island point as I’ve heard it’s good up there.

Sorry I meant I “have” been doing it tough!!

Hi Guys, I’ve been fishing Noosa the last few days and haven’t been doing it tough finding mackerel. Just seeing if anyone can give me some advice for Chardons and north reef. I’ve got GPS marks but can’t seem to find much structure or bait out there. Thinking of heading to double island point on the weekend so if anyone has any advice or GPS marks for that area I’d really appreciate it.

It just seems quicker to get out to the banks from Greenwell point. It’s around 25-30 NM from Shellharbour vs 7 NM from Greenwell. I’ll definitely be fishing out of Kiama and Shellharbour at some stage though. I’ve heard they’re pretty good too.

Thanks for the advice guys. The missus wants to move from Sydney to Bowral so I’m just making sure I can still fish before committing.

Hi guys, Just seeing if anyone would recommend towing a boat from Bowral down Moss vale road to Greenwell Point / Jervis Bay Area? I’ve got a 6m centre console pioneer towed behind a V6 amerok. Thanks 👍

58.5kg dogtooth on 30lb braid in Fiji. We we’re catching heaps of Spanish downrigging live baits so we put on a spin stick and bang!

Hi fish_more, I’ve actually been looking at north west and it seems like an unreal spot. My only worry is the Anchorage for my glass boat. Though I haven’t found anywhere that looks as good and it’s easy to get fuel and supplies over the via the barge. Just need to pick the right time to go and get the leave pass from the wife sorted! Cheers

Appreciate the info Frank 👍

Thanks for that Frank, yeah I’d love to get up to the cape. Could you get a glass centre console up there with a rock guard?

Hi raiders, I’m planning a trip towards the end of this year or early next year. I have a 6.1m pioneer centre console, I’ve got a 2 week leave pass, happy to camp on islands and looking to target mackerel, GT’s, trout etc. I did a trip last year where we camped on hook island in the Whitsundays for 5 nights and we ended up getting bugger all. I definitely don’t want to have another donut trip, so if anyone could recommend some spots to look at that’d be great. Thanks 👍

Hi Jon, what sort of jigs were you using?

Thanks for getting back to me JonD. We’ve got 2 x 6m centre cabs with 200L fuel tanks. The reef is around 60km so shouldn’t be a problem on a good day. There should be mackerel around the islands this time of year so hopefully we get onto a few. Thanks mate

Anyone?

Hi guys/girls, We’re going camping on Hook island (Whitsundays) in a month for a week and I was seeing if anyone had any marks or advice to share for the area? I’m thinking of heading to leeper shoal and jester reef (near Deloraine island) or would it be better getting out to the GBR (weather permitting)? Also seeing if it’s worth running down to Edward and yuindalla islands? I’ve fished the area a few years ago and got mackerel, trout, long tail tuna around dolphin point and mackerel bay but it was fairly tough given it’s such a large area to fish. Any advice would be much appreciated 👍
