Monday i went of the rocks had my drag set to 5 kg and a fish grabbed my softie and took of was snapped of on the reef move to the jetty start throwing a white mullet soft plastic 1st cast big queenie grabs it and takes me straight under the jetty we go night fishing again that night and my cousin catches a big trevally at 11 pm. i went on a charter on tuesday and went snorkelling with a big school of batfish and when i was going to hop out a big 1 metre cod comes up so i swim with it a bit and then we go and do a bit of fishing. all up it was good trip.
Wow, e.welch
Seems like you were the magnet on this trip.
Heaps of fish and heaps of variety in your fishing too. What a great holiday, and that swim with the Cod would have been the highlight.
Great report, Thanks.
Cheers, Bugzz

Re: magnetic island
my dad has been there looking after my nan he doesn't have quite as much patience as me and he has caught 1 20 cm fingermark and a remora his excuse is that he isn't as good at fishing the jetty.
