mate creek fishing up this

mate creek fishing up this way is pretty good. you can expect barra, jacks, black jews, threadies and all the usual northern species. Bluewater stuff starts from about 10 miles out mate. Have a look at some charts and i am sure you will find a few spots. On top of that you could always troll the channel markers or the back of a fewer closer islands for pelagics and trout

17ft Glass is fine for up here. Exactly what I run actually. Plenty of options depending on what your into.
