Southport Seaway – Ross McCubbin

03:22

In April 1994, we were about to do our 8th Coastwatch Show. It had been raining and the wind had been blowing for 2 weeks and on the day before the show went to air, we didn’t have a fishing story. Things were looking grim and I asked Gold Coast charter skipper Ross McCubbin if he could help me out. He took his small boat out to the bait reef off Southport Seaway, caught a few live baits and proceeded to turn them into a mangrove jack, tailor and trevally in about one hour. Amazing what knowledge, skill and an old rod and Alvey Reel can do.
