Hey Simon, love your videos. What area of shoals do you fish as I find it hard to catch a fish whenever I go there. I always thought it was flat and didn’t even know there were any bommies there.
Hey mate , I’m fishing about 5km past the shallow part of the shoals in around 16-18m of water. There’s a bunch of ground out that way. Not huge bommies, mostly just rubbly ground. I have other spots a few more km’s out too . It’s still on the shoals platform, sort of half way between rock cod and tullarook but a bit further out . Just sound around out that way and you will find plenty of ground.
@@robertporter387 nah we also get tuskies , trout, redthroat , sweetlip, red emperor etc. this time of year the red throat move out to the reef to the warmer water so we didn’t get any this trip
Thanks guys. Coming up for a week's reef fishing from the Gold Coast and want to target trout, red throat & tuskies. Probably be up at Tannum in about a month or so. Would the outer reefs around Masthead be a good starting point. No zip about your area. Cheers Bob.
@@robertporter387 yeah mate. Masthead gets hammered a fair bit but there are fish there. If you are set up to get around Sykes, it fishes well. Pretty much, the further out you go, the better the fishing. Lamont, Fitzroy, northwest, broomfield area all fish great too. There is a shoal area between erskine and wistari called cabbage patch that goes good to but it’s right beside the green zone so you need to be careful. Plenty of sharks though
Cheers guys, enjoy
