Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew any rock/headland spots in the Cairns to Port Douglas region. Recently purchased a new PE2-3 spin casting setup and want to chase some palaegics or trout off the stones. Anywhere close to the reef that is castable or an area known to catch mackerel in the winter would be super sweet. Also would be great to head out with someone as I'm new to the area. Thanks folks

Hi mate, flatties on plastics is quite easy and there or a couple of techniques i like to use. First use a 1/4 Oz jig head if water is calm, cast out and wait for it to it the bottom. Lift the rod tip a foot or two and slowly wind as the plastic flutters back down to hit the bottom again. Do this until it's back at shore or boat/yak. The lure motion is like a something hopping across the bottom. You don't want wind too fast though. A pause of few seconds when at the bottom is good. Remember they lay on the bottom and ambush so you might not realise they are on until your next rod tip lift. The other method is basically a slow retrieve on or close to the bottom. Cast out out, let it sinks. Slow retrieve. You may feel lure bounce or rocks or weed. They will take 3 inch to 9 inch plastics.

G'day again. Wasnt expecting this much attention. Thanks to everyone who has responded! @tiotony yeah thanks for the tips mate. Ive checked out Buzzy Thao's vids whilst consuming some beverages and have been to a few of the spots. I think most of them are more suited to live baiting where I prefer to flick lures. Ive also been stalking the forums for a few weeks and have seen some of your catches off the beaches, very nice mate. Ive also walked Freshwater down near the train bridge on Lower Freshwater Rd which was great. Are there any other spots on that creek or nearby I should check out? I also found Kamerunga bridge on Google Earth a few weeks ago. Seems most people fish off the bridge, is there a safe way to get closer to the water? @natang Yeah mate, been off the rockwall there a few times and caught a couple of fish. Had best luck on high tide off northern end of the rock wall. Went down a couple of weeks ago but they were dredging the channel so I called and sunk a few beers at the club instead haha Might drive down to East Trinty and jump on the bike and flck around the flood gates off Chan Rd tomorrow if its not toooo windy.

Hi all, Recently relocated to Cairns (well, Smithfield) with my partner for a bit of a change of scenery. We have relocated from Terrigal on the Central Coast NSW and will be here for at least 18 months. My partner relocated to Cairns hospital working a medical professional and I am working from home at my previous company from down South as a Network Engineer. Seeing as though I like to wet a line and dont exclusively know anyone from here (working from home I dont get the chance to really meet anyone), I thought I'd join the forum to try and get know some local fishos, get some idea of some spots, talk tackle, and just shoot the **** really. If you are in the area, dont be shy to drop me a msg. Down South I'd walk down to the beach and flick for flatties on the flats, chase the occasional bonito and salmon, and when I could be assed, chase some bass around the bush. Having bass tackle I would love to chase down some JPs up here. Ive had a few goes but finding the creek has been challenging. Also would love to get into some barra fishing. I dont have a boat so I guess I am limited in that way. So yeah, g'day everyone, happy to be here!
