unfortunately the 30lb leader failed me yesterday; hooked a very large king salmon and the leader parted when it jumped. Got two undersize salmon and didn't hook any barra at all.

Well done. 
That is a great catch. 
I remember a vid of you last year catching them off the beach. What a rush. 
Cheers.

30lb leader, 6lb main; the guy was asking me how heavy my leader was. Completely need the 30lb leader for barra gill rakers and fraying from salmon.
With how little you could fit on the spool, I think you'd spool yourself just in casting out with 30lb on a 2500 size reel! 

Finally north east winds started today after 10 months of south easterlies, so the beach is going to fire in the next few days. Hit the beach late afternoon with live mullet and managed a new PB at 116cm. My wife took the video; its a bit too long and  gets boring sorry!
Was released healthy.

You mentioned how expensive blood worms are - when I was a kid on the Tweed I used squirt worms for whiting and blackfish which were way better than blood worms (and free if you have a yabbie pump). Just have to pump around the casings you can see at low tide, but takes a lot of them to make a decent amount of bait.

fish close in to the snags on high tide for bream if you want a break from catfish.

Not a good time of year for them but may be able to put you onto a bull shark in the Barron river when your in Cairns. If you'd settle for hammerheads and blacktips the beach here is full of them in Winter. Gimme a shout when your up this way and could go have a look after work

tiotony that sounds awesome!! Cant wait to get there! Really appreciate all the offers and replies. You guys are great!

Good on ya mate and hope you pick something up. I wanted the same kind of part time job when I was 14 but couldn't land one. Used to get some good coin though working in factories on school holidays- back then (mid 1980's) you had to be 15, dunno about now.
