[@alft69]

Love the video mate. I’m heading up to Fraser next week and doing some homework. Did you worry about stingers in the water where you were ?

[@FishingBoatingExploring]

No mate, not inside of Moon Point at that time of year.

What’s the best time of year for grunter on the flats

[@FishingBoatingExploring]

They are around all year but seem to be easier to catch when the prawns start running.

[@matthewpocock4824]

I have to disagree with your theory about the whiting and bait fish moving into shallow water to escape predators. They move in to feed.

Awesome vid mate, well done and keep up the great work 👍👌🎣

[@FishingBoatingExploring]

Thanks for watching mate 👍

Those Grunter go hard don't they I got a mid 40's version in Pialba out in front of the reef I thought I had hooked a Trev but it was a nice Grunter they are great eating too 👌
