Hi Lucas, I'm headed out Friday morning! Weather is looking great, overcast with 1m swell early on.
Can't wait, there should still be plenty of marlin and also Mahi Mahi around the fish traps.
I'm ready to go with some small Gammas and a new MC works Lightning rod! Will also hang some slimies off floats if I can find them.
Whats the water temp?
The longtails could turn up at any point I suppose, fingers crossed!

Hey mate.
Nice one.
Water temp was 22.5 - 23 degrees and we found the slightly warmer water more productive.
Slimies are plentiful around North Eastern tip of Cabbage tree island on your way out.
Also found bait balls with tuna and marlin half way between Broughton and Cabbage Tree in 30-50m of water.
Good luck and chances are I may see you out there depending on work. Fingers crossed I'm not working.
Cheers.
Alex Gomez:
Sounds awesome, cheers Lucas!
Alex Gomez:
Quick question, were you out in the morning or afternoon?
Thanks
AG

Last weekend we went early mate.
Back inside the heads just after lunch.
Sun rise through port Stephens heads is enough to get me up early it's an awesome spot.
All depends on the tides and more so the breeze for us. I'm in a 4.8m centre console so when it gets sloppy out it makes life a little uncomfortable.
Cheers.
