Gday
Heading up to the Mackerel Islands in early August. Have not been there before. If anyone has any GPS coordinates and any charts (electronic) can you please send them through.
Thanks
Paul

Mate I think you will get no GPS points
These are kept close to heart by all but just look whilst trolling and you WILL find things. What GPS have you got. Most Modern units have it all up and around so you should be fine. My little Navman works all over WA. Havent been east with it.
Hope this helps

PS whilst bounching send out a party balloon with a floating Mulie, scalie, slimy or better live little reef fish and Mack for dinner!!
I think its Rosily and Airly island that is good for sports fishing and trolling for Coral trout but dont quate me. There is better than me on here to assist. maybe post something like mack Islands trip help, rather than ask for GPS. Its not liked!

Yeah asking for GPS points
Yeah asking for GPS points isn't such a good idea. Try finding spots yourself, it's not that hard and you'll probably find it much more rewarding.

mackeral Island fishing
good sounder and any decent chart will help find fish.
Deep water 40m plus good for redsand rankins.
shallow water will produce trout and snapper spanglies,etc.
mackeral pretty much everywhere. I've seen macks aroud 20kg cruising past the jetty at Thevinard Is. trevs and queeny all through the shallows. mackeral comp on at the time of the year as that is when they are quit plentiful.
