You can add tomaree and the headlands to the south of it for small black marlin. Just look for a heap of trailer boats towing live slimeys over the close in reefs in front of these headlands and you will be right spot right time. Big and little gibber for marlin. Same thing just look for the trailer boat fleet. The deep ledge at the north end of catho just south of the big Jew cave for marlin and Yellowfin. Coalcliffe, bass point. Message me if you need anymore help than that. U don't need a drone. These fish will feed at your feet if the water is right

Right number one the Yellowfin population is far from wiped out. I have run long liners from Eden to Mooloolaba for nearly a decade and there is more yellow and bluefin now than ever before. They just don't come in as close as often as they used to because of the lack of trawlers working. I hate trawling too. It destroys the bottom. But the tuna used to follow these boats for an easy feed. When I was alot younger 80kg Yellowfin on a length of 8mm rope and an undersize flathead was how I made extra money as a trawler deckhand off Newcastle while we towed shots. The last few years there has been a great run of inshore Yellowfin. Mostly rats around 20kg but the odd actual fish mixed in. Just no one fishing the ledges with the right gear at the right time of year anymore because you all think they are gone. They arnt. And I know of a few 60-80kg SBT landed at big Beecroft in the middle of winter over the last few years too. Kiama blowhole when the current and water temp are right is just as productive for black marlin as the tubes and usually a better average class of fish without a million under gunned retards to get in your way. Get the riptide app and learn how to use it and be flexible when and where to fish and you will get results. Provided your gear and rigs and skill level are up to it that is. Lbg brings out the absolute worst part of fishing. The secretive crap. No one on here learnt anything all by themselves. Someone showed you or you did research. All these spots were known long before any of us were born. I'm sure this post will annoy plenty of you but at the end of the day they arnt my spots or yours and if anyone is willing to spend the coin needed and do the walking/climbing I'll more than happily tell them exactly when and where to have a crack at these fish
