North Australian FISH FINDER forums

With the mack comp starting this weekend, i want to go out and get one. If its nice and flat i might head to fenton. but otherwise i need a backup plan. Heard Leepoint is alright but any tips would be good.

Lee point no worries Brent

Just burley up the gar in close near Lee-point reef and float one out live under a balloon, got a couple there last year and lost a few good ones

Cheers

check ya pm

cheers 86 i might give there a go. still pondering. if all else fails i have a channel point trip for last weekend of june. so should get some then.

Fish the Lee Point inshore reef with live gars or small live reef fish for bait, also troll the Bottlewasher Reef and other Lee Point wrecks with deep lures.

The deep water on the Cox Peninsula side of Channel Rock has big mackies in the dry season, troll deep lures or drop a live reefie on the turn of the tide.

Best at dawn, with another run at dusk. Fish deep during the day.

Out front of Bynoe is also good, just troll around the many reefs.

cheers Matt. will see how i go

Was bitten off by a monster Mack out the front of byno last weekend. But through 80lb wire trace like it was butter!

Single strand or multi strand wire?

blw - had a few problems with the multi strand myself, single strand is
a must have if using wire traces IMHO. although i prefer to bypass the trace altogether,
more bite offs but alot more hookups. but im sure others will disagree.
lee point seems like a safe bet for maccies, pretty common grounds for them

Yeah Righto. I use 100lb heat weld. Or single strand stainless. With a 6/0 circle. On a balloon.

cheers Brent

Yeah it was multi strand. I went to fishing and outdoor world ans stoked up on 150 lb wire and started doing them myself, haven't had the chance to give them a go yet.
I know the wire puts fish off sometimes but if I get a monster I want to have a high chance of landing it rather then a migh chance of loosing it you know haha.
