andtsociety rufus king wreck collecting trip

These are the fish that were caught out at the wreck on a very nice day.

The vis was only around 7 metres and the swell was nearly a metre, but it didn’t prevent a top day out.

This wreck is nearly half way from Stradbroke Island to Moreton Island just out behind the surf on the bar.

The recent rough seas have exposed a lot of it and it is a reasonable wreck now to have a top snorkel at.

The following pics are what was gotten there and a couple of ordinary videos of a swim around the wreck.

The only cray seen on the day would have been 3 kilos, missed it by that much!!!

This is where we were,just next to the wreck,which is just under the water down to 30 plus feet.

These are the fish we got.

Videos of the wreck.
