Decided to load up the Riv and head out to some nannigai grounds we have had luck at recently East of Cairns.
Left Yorkeys about 5:00pm with fingers crossed the storms would stay away for the night. Fished for a few hours into the night with only a couple of nanni's and mixed bag untill the sharks moved in. Couldn't get away from them for the rest of the night so decided to sleep on it.
Early morning fish resulted in the resident sharks having a good breakfast, so decided to move off in search of some new ground before heading home. Found a good bombie in about 30m of water (bit shallower than we would usually fish) and proceeded to pull some decent 10 or so trout over a couple of hours. Average trout was about 50cm with the biggest going 70+cm being a boat record. Esky was in a reasonable state at this point so headed for port.

Anyone else head ut in the cairns area over the weekend? how was the night time bite?
