thank you very much for the report mate...well done...the lure is called mack bait (green bonito)...u can buy it online...very hard to find it in d shops...cost around $25 delivered...i bought 4 of them last week...havent caught anything on it yet...u better off using a squid skirt on float...its cheap...$1 each...

hi raiders. i havent read a lot of reports on hill60 n bass pt so i decided to put one myself. it takes me up to 2hrs to get to the spots so i hope this report will sort of help fishos who r in d same situation like me. hill60 d spot is currently producing bonito on lures n bait. squid skirts n metals on lures n pilchards on floats. plenty of squid too. bass pt d spot is also producing bonito kingy squid frigate. also on lures m bait. basically d same as hill60. best times early mornings n late afternoons.
