domza Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 ive fished it a couple of times with james1990 we didn't catch much just flatties. I think you could expect to catch bakers, flatties, rock cod, snapper and other assorted reefies there. Ive lost a lot of my snapper leader there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive lost a lot of my snapper leader there too Yeh me and dom have pretty much got into the flattys there, OK size to, have caught snapper there no big ones though. I caught a 59cm king there about 18 months ago on fresh squid, also caught a big pufferfish in 90 feet of water. Iv heard they get a few sharks around there too. Give us a yell next time your going out as we ususally like to finish our day off there haveing a bottom bash, and might be able to show you some spots. cheers james Edited March 7, 2007 by james1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the 2 sections of reef that break surface would produce good jews with the right tide, just got to be really carefull getting a boat near there. cheers james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
