Went to hervey bay in search of some longtails about two weeks ago. We got to hervey thusday night and stayed at moon point for the night for an early trip to wathumba. Weather was awesome and as we arrived above wathumba we were greated by hords of spotted mackerel the bloody things were everywere. We quickly got a good feed in the eaky with all mackerel over 75cm but the only problem was the shear numbers every time you had a cast at tuna busing up the mackerel were all over it we did see a 30kg marlin swim right under the boat wich was pretty cool (we did troll abit for him but had no luck) We gave up on the tuna and headed back for a quick session on the goldens, when we got to the spot there were goldens tailing on the flat and my first cast produce a nice 8kg fish wich was folled by two more then time to go home. All in all not a bad trip a longtail would have been nice though.

yeah there are some big ones
at the anglers den, the peir gt record was something like 50kg
that is great effort if you think it runs a meter or two and it will be around the pylons

check out the NE side of little woodie island
on our last trip we saw some 20kg modles cruize by but no takers

nice fish
