The ones we caught were in about 17 - 20m from memory. We stopped for lunch and just threw out a couple of unweighted strip baits and after a while they started hitting us. I've heard of some really big ones being caught offshore in QLD.
Yeah I'm in Cairns and it's possible to get onto reef schools in the 50cm to 80cm range. The occasional monster but they only get big by being smart. Nothing wrong with a 48cm, tasty feed.

We found a school of them on
We found a school of them on a drop-off near Peak Island years ago. They were running around 3kg and were bloody good fun and good to eat.
