Kings Point

Cairns Harbour, and to the south of the entrance leads, the mainland plunges into the deep channel between this mountainous coast and Fitzroy Island. Kings point drops steeply to over 40ft of water and during summer months is home to BIG fingermark.At this time of year the sea abounds with squid and their arrival co-incides with the return of these big prime copper beauties. Fishing is most productive at night using live squid baits caught by hanging a bright lantern or light over the water and then dabbing or jagging the squid. Fished whole, on the bottom, fingermark to over 30lb are fairly common.
