COAST LUCKY TO HAVE WATERWAYS WARRIOR

I CAUGHT up with a mate this week who is probably the most prolific diver on the Gold Coast.

Ian Banks dives and documents the Southport Seaway on a daily basis.

I have dived several times with him and I always learn something new that will help me as a fisherman, usually it is what area the school jewfish are in.

However, after seeing his latest observations of what is happening in the Seaway I feel the need to send a friendly reminder to fellow Gold Coast fisherman about being responsible with our rubbish when we are on the water.

Ian found an outboard motor, a skateboard, a couple of fishing rods, a steering wheel, hundreds of sunglasses and enough fishing lures to open a tackle shop.

Most Gold Coast fisherman are responsible but there are unfortunately a few letting the team and environment down.

Lucky for us we have guys like Ian who clean up after us.

SEQ fishing charters scored this impressive morwong in the Seaway earlier in the week. Among the marlin and mahi mahi offshore are some nice wahoo like this nice one Mufasa Sportfishing caught this week. Lucky Strike Charters had a lot of success this...
