All fish are caught before the shelf anywhere upto 10km before is where i like to fish for them mostly. Most country we fish in is around 60m but the further you head north the shallower it gets. The current was a pain but like you said its still fishable with big leads while drifting.

Thanks for the reply Greg! You obviously cleaned up on the Reds you lucky bugger!! I got some marks for the shelf east of the lighthouse at DI - am heading up there soon when the weather looks good to chase some Reds. What baits and rigs have been working the best for you on the Reds?? You tried jigging for Reds?? I been getting some Snapper and Pearlys on jigs 40nm east of Noosa - so i reckon the odd Red would smash a jig. What do you reckon??

Thanks for the 50 mate.
Sorry mate but i don't think i will be ever hooking the GPS upto the sounder.
Yes the Chemmy nod was all that was needed to make me happy. #

I have caught some good reds east of DI but it can be a real struggle in that area and never caught quantity there just the odd snodger. People think reds need to have the best bait and rigs in the world but the truth is they will eat anything no matter how it is presented. They certainly aren't fussy but alot of the bigger fish are caught on paternoster rigs and for guys who don't go red fishing much i would be advise using slab baits as it's alot easier to hook one then when using whole baits like yakka's because the way they mouth the bait ever so gentle. Never tried using jigs on reds and maybe they would work but i really wouldn't think reds would take a liking to one because the way they feed. Reds are lazy eaters and just mouth the bait taking there time to inhale unlike Pearlies and snapper where they hit a bait with aggression this the reason why i would suggest they wouldn't be tempted to take a jig. But you never know.
