To my knowledge, the Pearl channel is all sand. Aint no reef there. There are some channel markers.....What species are you chasing?

There are actuall reefs in the Pearl channel.

I know some people that rave about the fishing there. I've tried a few places and seen a couple of good bottom structres appear on the sounder but its a place I need to explore more.

There are structures of coffee rock, thru the pearl and some above average parrot, tuskies call them what you like :-X, currents a big problem though.

Also seen and eaten some pearlies and big cod from those rocky areas.

Fishes best at night on the drift - but you'll have to go and have a look for yourself ;)

Are they at the top or bottom of Pearl?

The good old Pearl Channel hey. Some bloody big fish have been pulled out of there over the years. ;) There is Coffee rock formations like Webby said but ya just gotta look around for them. There is also a ledge over near moreton that is coffee rock which has a few good fish on it. XOS Parrot been taken there like upwards of 6 or 7kg easily from memory. We have got good mackerel and whitting from there before too.

Cheers, Lachie

The reef in pearl covers up in the tides with sand. Mostly uncovers when the rough weather arrives and stays exposed for variable periods after that.

The pro crabbers know where the reef (coffee rocks) are and target them after a blow. Good crab but also a lot of fish get in the pots as well. I've seen parrot, squire(snapper to be politically correct), sweetlip, coral trout, stripies, cobia,cod and many other species come off those reefs over the years.

I have found that the main exposure has been in winter.

As has been said you have to look for it, the bottom end of pearl has the best reef. No more secrets, spend some time and look.
