Quobba Station info
Submitted by propel74 on Sat, 2013-06-08 01:49
Hi,
Looking at heading up to Quobba station in about 3 weeks and just looking for some info on gear to take and any other relevant info..
Im taking 5kg and 10kg spin sets, 15kg and 10kg overhead sets. Plan to throw some soft plastics and metal lures out and hopefully get some live baits in the water.
What size leaders are being used up there and how easy is it to get fish up the cliffs?
Cheers in advance for any info!!
Propel..

Its not too difficult to get
Its not too difficult to get fish up the cliffs as long as you aren't fishing alone and you have a cliff gaff. you could probably leave the 5kg outfit at home or swap it for a 15kg spin outfit. I haven't fished this area for many years but would love to get back there myself.

I fish minimum 40-50lb
I fish minimum 40-50lb outfits with 60-80lb leader and I still struggle to land most decent fish! Definitely need some warm clothing this time of yr, early mornings can be as cold as 4 degrees then theres the wind And I wouldn't worry so much about landing the fish and more about getting it past the sharks first!!

I would Take a 50 pound spin
I would Take a 50 pound spin setup , you will be way undergunned with the 10 kg , especialy if there are alot of sharks around , the 15 kg overhead combo will do for ballooning just run a decent long leader, but 24 kg is better, landing fish is normally okay as long as the swells not up and you have a cliff gaff or a long pole gaff depending where your fishing.
