Common by-catch are red bass, narrowbarred (Spanish) mackerel and barracuda. GTs to 25kg and bluefin trevally to 7kg are common along the outer barrier reef.

All are fantastic sport on medium tackle gear.

If you wish to target the 50kg+ monster GTs that haunt the outer reef breakers, we recommend you bring your own specialised gear such as Daiwa Saltigas or Shimano Stellas.

You should bring more than one outfit as you are likely to suffer breakages from these huge fish.
