Fished the Great Barrier Reef (Bunker Group) with good mates Eddie & his brother Steve. The weather was hit and miss but we made the most of what mother nature dished out! :)

Hey Barrie, it’s about 3hrs give or take one way out to the Great Barrier Reef off 1770. If your bro lives off bundy he can access the souther bunker group easily. He could fish lady musgrave or lady Elliott 😀

Great videos and great variety of catch. Can you please share what rods (make model) n reel sizes you are using when catching the bigger fish in deeper water pls? The long thin rods I am mostly interested in as they keep good tension on the line. Thanks Dave
@johnnychowjc2 жыл бұрын
Hi David, thanks for the positive feedback. The rod I was using in the deeper water is a Wilson Venom PE 2-5 and 7ft in length. I matched it with a Shimano Stella 14k with 100lb Daiwa Saltiga Braid. I have to say the Wilson Venom rod is fantastic with sensitivity but still has enough grunt to handle the bigger fish. :) Tight lines mate. Hope this helps.

Loved the vid mate but you wasted some good trout skin 🤦🏼 no need to scale the skin for crispy skins they are best cooked with the scales on and salted before you shallow fry them but your fish to do as you wish nothing but respect brother 👍

Thanks for the tip. I didnt realise. I thought the scales might be a bit tough to chew. will note for next time. :)
