Make sure you take heavy line along as there are some monster fish that will snap any weak line. Traces are needed for sure.

Regarding bait I will use the cast net as there are plenty of bait under the jetty up there.

So what size rods???  :'( :'( :'(

I think I will need to buy so heavy line in Cairns. My rods only have 10kg line and I was going to ask what terminal tack we would need and pick some up in Cairns. Don't normally fish for stuff that big in Mexico (sorry Melbourne).

Any tackle shop in cairns will do. Tell them you ate fishing at the cape. ;D
