Cairns Fishing- Nannygai and Mackerel Video Report

[BentRod]

Hi,
Thought I would share 2 vids from a couple of trips out of Cairns with friends during June/July School hols.

Cairns Spanish Mackerel Mayhem- We got stuck into Spanish Mackerel, trevally, and the odd cobia in rough conditions (20knts +) on a wreck not far from Yorkey's Knob. We anchored and were using dead slimies and pillies on small gangs lightly weighted with a pea sinker. We started out using a short wire trace (single strand) but found this somewhat put off the fish and we caught loads more spanish mackerel running just 80lb leader (only lost 1-2 fish with bite offs). We kept the burley flowing which worked a treat as we found out when gutting the fish (full of pillie cubes).

Cairns Fishing- Big Nannygai. The Nannygai were also caught on a wreck 'somewhere' off Cairns. We spent close to 2.5hrs sounding around for the wreck which clearly wasn't where the GPS indicated. We were about to give up when the sounder lit up and we all got very excited. Obviously the wreck was covered in trevally of various species but we were sure there would be some nice reefies below. We anchored up and with very little current we were able to float down (using pea sinker) dead slimies and pillies. We worked our way through loads off trevally and pulled some nice large-mouth nannygai which were biting like small bream. It was only a relative short session and although we didn't get quantity we were happy with the quality.

Good couple of sessions there mate. Those Nannygai are stonkers, good work.
