mrmoshe Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) Looks like these may be the culprits: Is it near here Bloos ?? From a local GC fishing report this week: The Gold Coast's fishing over the past week has been good, with plenty of mackerel being caught on Palm Beach and Mermaid Reefs. Small spots have also been caught at Narrowneck Artificial Reef and the Scottish Prince wreck. Edited August 11, 2007 by MallacootaPete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Heath can enlighten us, fished the gold coast with my uncle when i was a teenager - caught plenty of spainiads there as well as snapper - the mackrel came from trolling - snapper from anchor - these boats look anchored.

Steve07 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Most of those boats anchored up off those close in reefs on the gold coast would be targeting spotted & spanish mackerel,cobia,kingys & floating baits for snapper.They are blessed with plenty of good reefs on that part of the coast,when the fish are on the place just goes off.But you wouldnt want your fish to run too far especially when so many boats are anchored on top of each other.Reminds me of a place called the PEAK off sydney back in the days when it would fire for kingfish,& all the boats sometimes a 60 to 80 of them would jossle for position jigging & livebaiting for them,it was absolute chaos at times. cheers mate, steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloo62 Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 I did hear one local say he thought it was tailor, but surely you wouldn't have a fleet of fishing boats after tailor when there are so many other more desirable species to be had?

Hundgie Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I been there and fished the reefs of the gold coast when there is that many boats around, they would nearly all be targeting spotted mackerel with the odd spainard and cobia as well. Plenty of action and arguments to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
