Came back yesterday from an awesome week at Fraser. Went up with a group of 10 guys and 1 boat so we spent the week doing various activities in between going offshore.
The ferry was full and we had no dramas getting up to Orchid beach, but were reminded of what can go wrong - poor bugger had lent his ute to two mates who fell asleep on a overnight fishing trip with an incoming tide.

AH Fraser, ya gotta love that place. Even if ya can't get offshore, there's always something to do.

Looks like you found Green Jobbie heaven. That was the only fish I failed to nail last time there. Also noted is the ever present and great tasting Coronation Trout.

Strange thing about drowning a vehicle on Fraser, insurance companies won't touch you. Basically, you drown you own it. And that is especially so for the Hire Vehicles.

X- mates, indeed !

Cheers Phill

We caught six in total on three seperate outings using as light weight tackle as possible and drifting with livebaits. We slowed the drift down to @ 1.5 knots with a sea anchor and found them in 35m to 40m west of North Gardener reef. They go like hell for the reef once hooked and are great eating.

We were fishing in the same area and were getting smashed. Probably the same fish but we know we were getting hit by big cobia as well.
I was having a shot at you about the green bottle fish. In the photo you have a green bottle to show against size of fish.
