queensland Palm Beach Spotties

[marty]

After a couple of trips with no Mackerel, finally managed to be in the right place at the right time. Got a couple of reports of people bagging out on Wednesday morning so shot out to Palm Beach reef this morning. Started a little slow but the switch was flicked at 6 with a crazy bite for an hour with boats all round hooking up. We managed 7 Spotties in the boat to 90cm and lost even more. Most came from float lining and a couple from spinning. Nice way to finish a crazy year!

Nice bag and a lot of fun no doubt. Looking forward to having a go this season sometime.

Hi marty

Great effort on the mackerel! It's going to be a tasty feed as well. I've always heard of them at Palm Beach around this time, and I suppose that's why it's renowned for so many boats sometimes!

Cheers Hamish

nice one mate. it's mayhem when they are one the chew big time.  and then there's the boat clean up afterwards...

Looks like a great day. Very peaceful compared to the seaway.. Where do you put your boat in to fish palmy

I prefer to launch from Currumbin as it is so close (to me and the reef) - Tallebudgera creek is also close but I don't like crossing that bar.

It was surprisingly quiet yesterday (30 boats maybe) - on a good day you can expect 80+ boats. I think everyone went the day before because the weather was better.
