Stephen Polzin:
Mate Palm Cove jetty is scenic enough but don't go there expecting to catch anything. 

scouser:
where would you recomend i will have a car in cairns so i can travel around ?

Stephen Polzin:
Land based is pretty tough, there's no-where I could really recommend for big fish- I only fish from a boat.  You could get lucky at the Palm Cove jetty, but lucky would be the operative word.  I think you're doing the right thing going with Blackout, he's got a pretty good reputation. 

Ivan Verhage:
hi stewart

i have got a caranx DM and it is a great rod for fishing from a boat and it can easily handle 130lb braid.

cheers ivan
