Fishing Spots Hinchinbrook Island/Reefs

[Nowahh]

I wondert if I could ask you for some info on where to fish out from Lucinda. We are here now and not having much luck so far at Bramble reef. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Nowah.

most people fish the nw side of the reefs up this way in about 25-30m for trout . have a look at some of baldy heads marks I have not checked them out myself though . if they are on a reef edge then chase trout and red throat . if they are in deep water then chase nannies an reds at night is he better time

Hi PaulS, here are a few GPS marks that are definitely worth a drop or two if you are in the areas. You may have to sound around a bit to find the hard stuff but I look for the bait on the sounder first anyway. Remember the weather has to be kind also.

I have fished these spots over the years and use the GPS marks as a guide only. The real test comes using your sounder to find structure /bait etc. Before the GPS we used to use line ups and the sounder. Rarely came home without a feed at least. Always have a floater for a mack, guaranteed feed lol
Why did I post these marks in the open forum?
Cause I don't believe in hiding or not sharing fishing spots.
& I'm not a miserable bast@rd.
Hopefully they may be some help.
cheers Baldy

Hi baldy
Thanks for sharing these marks to the enquirer. You may not miserable but perhaps a bit naive. Im sure all youre mates would be wary of sharing there spots with you now seeing you may post them up for all to see.

The whole world is on the net and everyone who has downloaded them can pass them on to friends etc. Next time you go there dont be suprised if a bunch of strangers are there in your spots. I am reading this from a resturant in Germany though I live in Cairns and i do fish hinchinbrook at least once a year.

Cheers anyway!
