How often have you landed more than 50 GT's in one day?
Although Jewell Reef is mainly about variety, it also happens to have some of the best GT fishing in the world. It’s not at all unusual at Jewell Reef during September-November to find mobile bommies of GTs ready to do battle. The rest of the year provides spectacular fishing on the reef flats as well as trolling and jigging for mackerel, yellowfin and the occasional big dogtooth tuna.
And if you think that is good, there’s also light tackle action in the shallows, mackerel trolling or deep jigging. Truly spectacular fishing in a simply incredible location.
