The Spanish Mackerel Shootout 2010 was a great success, pity about the weather, hosted once again by the Mackay Game Fishing Club. Reefari and crew went for a run out to the Shipping Channel and got some great reef fish, but unfortunately couldn’t find any Spanish Mackerel for the weekend. Great video which gives a good run down of the weekend. We then hid in Refuge Bay, Scawfell Island for a bit of shelter Saturday night and tried again for a Spanish Mackerel Sunday morning for the run home with out any luck, but that’s fishing. Week before we got 8 mackerel in 45 minutes, Oh well!! The much anticipated 2010 JG Marine &Mowers Spanish Mackerel Shoot-Out was contested over the weekend of 10th and 11th July 2010. The 15 - 20knot forecasts reaching 20-25 knots at times meant for trying times as 58 registered anglers did their best to land the best fish they could find. Credit must be given to the team on board ’Somewhere’, skippered by Dennis Breadsell, who managed to get Mick Rethus and Craig Breadsell hooked up to some monster spanish mackerel.. The first 2 fish they put on the scales were impressive:- Craig’s first a commendable 17kg while Mick’s first fish at 21.6 kg put him in front of the best fish weighed in on the Saturday that was 18.65kg from Jason Jenkins. However, when the second mackerel bag was opened up it was clear the competition was just between Craig and Mick. Craig’s 2nd fish was weighed in at 30.50 kg and when Mick’s 2nd fish was weighed at 30.00kg Craig had found himself the winner of the $1200 cash 1st prize in the 2010 JG Marine&Mowers Spanish Mackerel Shoot-out. The Spanish Mackerel mystery weight section saw Chris Ellis score a Reefari 1 Day Reef fishing trip with his 10.75kg Mackerel being the closest to the 13.5kg mystery mark. Reefari also sponsored the mystery weight for Reef fish. I was lucky enough to catch a quality 9kg Nannygai and 6 kilo Coral trout during the competition

Reefari Fishing Charters - Monster Golden Trevally!!
These couple of huge monster Golden Trevally were caught on our recent mothershipping Charter to the outer Great Barrier Reef. These were big fish, and some of the biggest Golden Trevally I’ve seen, pushing at least 10 Kilograms and about as big as they grow. They also fight hard and take some stopping and this was with 50lb braid. Not sure if they get a similar fish in the United states, but the trevally family is referred to Jacks over there. Golden Trevally can be found from inshore estuaries, reefs to
