Drop into Tackle and Outdoor World and speak with one of the boys about your best options. Also might want to procure the services of a local guide, if you dont have alot of time to track the fish down yourself!!

And also gather the thoughts of big barra at the lizard bar( the bar without walls).

Thats all I could reccomend apart from taking me with you!!! haha

and a SLOOWWW stop n start retreive... and as barneyboy said, drop into the big tackle store in town (pretty sure its Tackle and Outdoor World)...

I was up there for the first time a few months back and the guys there are great .. and suprisingly cheap for lures and gear .. (they could sell alot of halco stuff as cheap if not cheaper than youll get in freo)
