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 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?

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!

[nonibbles]

Mackay's a long way from hell though

[krazyfisher]
