Can get pretty hairy at times so depending on weather probably not a good idea for inexperienced skippers. once clear, drop in a couple of rapala's and troll north. likely to catch a few spanish/shark mackeral, yellow fin tuna, possibly wahoo, few bronze whalers etc etc etc. Then come back in the north passage, probably about 4 hours worth of trolling speed.
my best fish out the back was a 27.5kg spanish mackeral, have also caught a small sail fish
always advisable to check in to the local shop for advice and info on tides etc. And if its a big swell stay well away from the reef coz when your hooked on a fish and not paying attention to the water, they creep up on ya. nearly been caught a couple of times.

Thanks for the info.
My friend is a new skipper so we have been told to only go through the north passage.
We want to try and catch some snapper up there any suggestions?
Also I have 65 pound line - what should my strike drag be around?
Cheers
