Didn’t take long to catch our two Spanish mackerel on the trusty Halco Laser Pro, once we’d found the pressure point of this reef. ✨ Pressure points are where the current first hits a reef, this starts the food chain and pelagic’s like this Spanish.

Gil’s first ever king threadfin salmon, and what a beauty it was.

This one fell victim to a 4.5 inch shimma pro rig.

Apparently they can grow up to 1.7m and 45kg. What’s your biggest?

Tropical North Queenslands - Great Barrier Reef provides yet again. Still feeling so blessed to have this as our new local. ✨

The wetsuits providing the perfect camouflage for reef species. 3.5mm is perfect for the cooler months whilst still being so flexible and comfortable.

Full sends past the shelf are becoming more frequent with the electric fathom reels. Currently using both the 30 and the 50 🎣 Unfortunately the ruby and flame tail snapper didn’t play the game with a bit too much current but managed to come in a little bit shallower and take home a great feed off goldband Snapper. Their large white flakes off mild delicate moist flesh makes them one off our favourite, that can be cooked almost anyway fish pizzas becoming one off our favourite.

Check out this monster Spanish Mackerel Gil speared on a recent reef trip with some mates. Didn’t get a weight on the beast, as we had to cut it up to fit in the esky. What do you guys think it weighed? Thanks for the awesome pic

Gil managed to get this awesome little Barra on the shimma fork vibe from a tough morning session. These guys are deadly on the reef and in the creeks a must have in the tackle box. Comes rigged with owner trebles means they’re ready for big fish straight out off the packet, Perfect size for some fresh Barra burgers tonight 🍔

Massive thanks to for the Airmar SS175L - Low Frequency Transducer. Helping us find the fish in 450m. We were reading the bottom way out to over 550m amazing. Paired with the Penn Fathom 30 making these depths look easy. A Deadly Combination. 🔥 This was our 1st time catching these monsters from the deep and won’t be our last time trying. Absolutely amazing eating, these Ruby Snapper provided many friends and family with delicate succulent white flakes off premium seafood ✨
