Hi jason.
I would start at the artificial reef, on the northern side of big woody.
Another spot to try would be closer in to Big woody, on the northern side
( the kero shed ) Just a few to start with !

thanks to every one for your input. as it turned out the misses got very ill 2 days in, from eating @ the seafood buffet at urangan harbour. (chowder) took her 3 days and nights to get over it. did manage to head out to see some whales which the kids loved, but didnt manage to get a line wet from the boat, caught a couple of whiting from the beach

cheers
