Looking for fish in mackay

[loophole]

heading to Macky next week towing 4.8m stacer from brisbane any spots that i might be able to find some fish;D also where and what can i fish for in the harbour

[madman1]

Not that I have caught anything decent since getting here four months ago but the Harbour produces all sorts of pelaigics including mackeral, trevally, queenies etc..., barramundi, coral trout. The list goes on. My neighbour landed a 96cm Barra a month or so back off of the wall with live mullet.

Weather conditions are pretty bad and generally windy. Slade Island is a short distance from the Harbour probably under 1 km and reefies can be caught at night when all is quiet.

Good luck and dont forget to post your results.

Cheers

Mark

Hi Mark,
So the rock has produced some results for you? ;D ;D

Na Pete,

Didn't get a chance. I sold the boat last week. The wife wants something bigger with a kitchen and shower.

Better start saving i think.

She is eyeing off a 25' Carribean / Bertram! Gotta be diesel therefore big bucks! unless I can fing one with a big arse four stroke outboard!

did you ever say hell would freeze over if you sold your boat? because it is mighty cold

[nonibbles]

Mackay's a long way from hell though

[krazyfisher]

[secret_spot]

the harbour is fishin s%$t hot at the mo. there are plagues of dimond trevs round. have got some nice goldies to 8 kilo, mackeral, little gt's, if you can head to the islands, trout are going spastic. last week got 4 trout, total weight of 19 kilo, spanish are going alright on the shoals and island withheaps of current.
seaforth is a good option in bad weather, islands therecan hold anything. the flats on the out are pretty good, using poppers, is some good sambos around creek mouths,
