With the NW winds hit Kings rocks today. Conditions good swam out about 60m and layed down 3 shopping bags full of spanner crab left overs and waited and waited swam around and waited no fish to be seen. Also the son came out he bought a smaller gun during the week.

At least you got in the water Mark, and being out with your young bloke is always special no matter what.
Cheers mate, next time will be more productive!

Davo, the only decent shore dive off the sunny coast is Pt Arkwright just south of Coolum Beach. You can swim straight out due east of the point for as long as you want. The reef just keeps going.

Thanks Badone.... might give it a try next time I'm out. How is the vis and depth there??

Last week the vis was about 6-8m but not looking so good now. Depth starts out at 10ft and just gets slowly deeper as you head east. The reef runs a long way out to sea and ends up running out in about 80ft of water probably a kilometer or so out to sea. Good spot for spanish in summer ( a mate shot one last week so they may be here early as the water is warmer than usual) and you can get the odd trout, jack and snapper if you work hard. Crays as well but the good ones are usually deep. Watch out for boats.
