Here's a little clip I took dropping a gopro in 60 metres off Cairns. You see a nice Coral trout take the bait and spit it out, then a Red Emperor around 8kg get hooked and come to the boat. Interesting to watch the shark hanging around too. Must have been just not confident enough on the day...

That wasn't bad clarity down there. I gather it was a nice chunk of occy on the hook. Certainly lucky the shark wasn't hungry

Thanks guys bait was just some chopped up fish, can't remember what type. Would have been mainly skin by the time the red got hold of it..

Interesting to watch the trout only nibbling at the bait. Very surprised that shark didn't tax the red!
