Hi all looking at heading up to doubtless bay first week in Nov, for a few days fishing hopefully this is a good time of year for up here.
If anyone is happy to share info with me for snapper slow jig spots and topwater for kingies would appreciate some info.
Thanks Rob

No! Don't go up there! It's awful. It'll be crowed out and loud music everywhere, the pubs are all shut and there is no night life. There is nowhere to launch you boat safely, prices are through the roof and the locals downright unfriendly to outsiders poaching their fish.

I don't live there either.

The thing Corosanta didn't mention about outsiders fishing up here is the "beer tax" payable on demand...………

Spring is my favorite time to fish and be on the water.

Snaps tend to arrive from the north, so early season that thought can be helpful.
