Hi Guys,
I have a chance to get down to palm beach reef next Friday Morning (1 Dec 06), but living a couple of hours away I'd appreciate some local updates.
Are the Spotties running there at the moment? whats the crowd situation?
Any tips on the Currumbin bar at the moment?

Any tips much appreciated

Mate, give Mermaid a go if Palmy is chokka. I've found that it fires the same time as Palm and often isn't as busy...........then again, I could just've been lucky. :-/ :-/

Also, last time I was at Palm (last year) it was heaving and so I anchored just off the reef and we bagged out in an hour....some guys in kayaks were slaying 'em also and they were on the fringe as well.

Thanx guys,
I also got word through an email that they are there but in thinner numbers at the moment. Hopefully Friday being a few days before full moon I'll do alright.
I'll check back on Thu night if anyone's got the latest.

Hi Guys,

Can anyone tell me where Mermaid reef is, I have heard a bit about it but can't seem to find it.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
