I was south of that area (noggin reef) a couple of weeks ago before the new moon and the fishing was good, free swimming macks and GT's in abundance, fusiliers thick as I've ever seen them before. The lead up to the new moon this time of the year is when the fish are spawning and it's red hot, don't forget the Coral reef fin fish closures, this year it's from the 12 October to 16 October and 11 November to 15 November.
