The entrance to the Russell has produced some reasonable grunter for my brother and I over the past few weeks. These hit deadbaits aggressively, and are a reasonably easy target. The key is to find the right sandbars and fish during teh turn of tide. Heres a few pics

Wow mate,

I have fished cairns a number of times and never been able to get onto this sort of fish.

Question - what sort of dead bait is the go for these fish?

[Bad Bubby]

Hey mate, the best dead bait for grunter is squid. They like soft baits, some others being mullet strips and peeled prawn.
