Another "Caves" Spinning Mission
Gday guys
Headed up to Quobba today in the hope of landing something, did allright but not the best. Left home @ 4am and arrived at our spot about 6, greeted with fantastic conditions. So we geared up and made the trek down the goat track to begin our fishing. On arrival at our platform light was still not evident so we began fishing the bottom to try and manage a feed. Della landed a legal Norwester as well as a few undersized Baldies with a few bust offs in between. Light was now beginning to show so it was time for some spinnning. I was the first to hook up on a smallish Spaniard only to be mauled by a few hungry locals seconds later, managed to get the head though which was used as a teaser later in the day. Saw a big GT swimming under the lower ledges, couldn't believe it, first real one i've seen, this thing must have been 20 or so kgs just cruising along. Anyway the day rolled on with a Longtom and another small Mackie as well as a number of big hits which didn't stay connected. Towards the end of our trip we started playing around with the locals which was a bit of fun and then it was the long walk back up the hill to the car @ around 1. High anticipation with really not much to show is all i can say now. Highlights would deffinitely have to be the GT and the locals, the locals are allways entertaining. All in all it was a good day to be outdoors, even with the heat! Look forward to hitting up this place next time. Pics to follow..
Here they are..

lovely place can get some
lovely place can get some big spaniards cruising through there the walks a killer but it's better than the Ledge(Garth's) to get to, when you clean up it's a pain bringing all the fish back up thats the only real downside, always found that you get all types of Trevelly there most times i have been there.

North of garths rock
Fair few KM's north of Garth rock (maybe 20ish, WODF can confirm) very hard to find off the road without prior knowledge, a bitch of a drive in there (tyre shredding country) and a bitch of a walk to the spot. Thats about the best description I can give without going google earth.

Great pics WODF. Fished there a few times many years ago.
Best for me was this Cobia. Just over an hr to haul in...whilst bare foot. Just as long to drag it up the wee hill!
