ive been in mackay for over 6mnths now, i was fishing at ball bay the last couple of weeks and want to know if anyone has been spearfishing at ball bay or seaforth?
the grounds there at ball bay have alot of ledges, caves, rock holes looks real good.
anyone been there or have mates that spear or fish there?
thanks

Conco46,

Mate i go spearing off Seaforth regularly. Water clarity is the biggest issue coming into Summer withh all the run off, however have got a few Blueys and Jacks out around outer and inner Newry as well as fish reef and rabbit island northern end. Be careful but as i have been warned of the odd croc poking around. Around Mackay harbour, Slade rock and round and flat top islands arent too bad either mate.

the water a high tide at ball bay was clear as, but we havnt had rain for 50-60 days until today,
cheers mate
