Well Well, a nice Red. And ya gotta love those Hussar. I know people say they just make up the numbers, but BTF they taste good. I see there was a few good size buggas there, as was on our last trip. And that big Stripey ( Spanish Flag ), one of the sweetest fish around.


Will catch up to you in the "Bay" soon.

Cheers Phill

Straight off the dpi fishweb site.

Coral reef fin fish
Three, nine-day periods have been implemented as closed seasons to the taking of all coral reef fish in October, November and December each year around the new moon period. The closures are designed to protect spawning aggregations of most coral reef fish species.

For 2005 the closures for waters east of Cape York between 10°41’ south (near Cape York) and 24°50' south will be:

27 September to 5 October;
27 October to 4 November; and
25 November to 3 December.

Thanks mate, would have been really annoyed to get up there and find out we couldn't keep out catch, still deciding where else to go now south of Fraser tip...........any suggestions, I have a 6.4m trailcraft, had it for almost a year now and apart from 5 black marlin in 2 hours at the gold coast seaway last xmas have not really had much luck or time off from work so I'd like to get some reel action happening soon!!!
