From the Whitsundays we sailed directly to Cape Upstart, 40 Nm north of Bowen. After the whale encounter we caught two spotted Mackerel but unfortunately just as we got them to the boat they slipped the hook, it was beans again for dinner.But our fishing fortunes changed the next day
We were trolling two lures, a deep diver and a surface lure. The deep diver line when taut then snapped a 40kg rated trace. Then the second line went tight. After a fight we dragged this Spanish Mackerel onto the boat. So it will be Mackerel for the next 4 days.

fantastic! that's great eatin' lucky you. You'll have to give some fishing lessons when you're back. Can you post a photo of the type of lure you are using, please!
Our fishing method is very simple, 50m of venetian blind cord attached to 5m of shock cord.
We have been using a surface lure and a Hako Giant trembler. The next fish we catch I will put the lure in the picture
