Just a report on what I did for 3 days over Easter just been. The weather has only just come down enough to go camping coming into Autumn. Sorry about using metric info. The temp was about 29C daytime and 25C night. Couldn't take too much gear down so took lighter gear we could catch other fish on. We fished every high tide but the first night. You may find it interesting that the water is 600m away at low tide and had 6m between high and low tide! Caught a trevally on first live mullet so we baked it for lunch. Next day we caught a Queenfish weighed in at 16lb on a 12ft surf rod. That night we set up my TLD 25 with 2 live mullet on a wire trace connected to some 200lb mono then to my mainline. It sat there for ages and nothing happened then we spotted a long tom (looks like a garfish) so I netted it and cut him up for fresh bait and noticed it was quite bloody so I put half of it on instead of the live mullet. The place we were fishing was
21°38'24.94"S 149°26'18.21"E
A small creek at low tide but high tide about 4-5m deep water. I cannot for the life of me cast an overhead so I hand cast the bait out. 15 minutes later I went to my truck to check the time and guess what? No z-z-z-z-z-z it was more like ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!! I ran back and picked up the rod and let my mate know I'm about to hit strike. I slowly ramped up to strike and it realised it was hooked and went mad. Then bang busted off. I wound in my line to find I am an idiot. My line had been rubbing on the creek side sand which weakened it a bit and I had not seen my massive overrun caused by stupidity and using my reel in freespool with clicker on. I have made a 200lb length of mono with shark clips on each end to secure my rod and didn't use it. I didn't trust my rod spike but know I should have had some drag set to prevent overrun. The next high tide we tried again and due to bait shortage I used 2 live mullet again and took them 250m out as the tide started to come back in. I used no sinker but used 8lb mono and tied it to a rock out there. Set the rod up properly this time with about 4-5lb drag and the clicker mousetrap style. Waited till the tide went down but we didn't get anything.
So bit of an average report but some insight to the challenge of fishing other regions of the world for you. At least we hooked one and next time we will take better bait and remember lessons learnt. Thanks for reading 
Hey I'm from Gold Coast Queensland, used to live at Proserpine/airly beach. Was just wondering if u could pls give me the name of that beach you were describing, I have been trying to find that beach for ages! Massive tigers cruze that beach man! Good report and better luck next time
Everyone just seems to call it Cape Palmerston around here. Think its Cape Palmerston beach. Looks to have potential and not a lot of people go there. 40 min drive from home for me.
Cheers mate, ill have to look into a trip up there sometime in the near future hopefully
