Fishing On Palm Beach Reef

 

My cousin Joe and I were fortunate enough to head out across the Currumbin bar early one morning (before work) and boat a few spotted mackerel. At one stage we had three on, one on a handline, one on an alvey and the other on an overhead. With just two of us it was quite a handfull.

 

The total catch - seven spotted mackerel from 8 to 12lb.

This was the 12lb'er that put up quite a struggle on 17lb line. The light wire trace broke just after landing the fish.
