I was out on BB on Tuesday morning and had a similiar poke around.
Saw a load of bait fish on the sounder at Mol Pt so anchored up,about 2 hours before the low tide.
Landed a couple of pike,which I used for bait in case any Jew were around,but nothing came of it!
Then I thought my luck had changed,spying a shed load of fish cruising along: about 20 metres away.
Threw an sp at them,no takers.
I could feel the jig hitting their bodies as I pulled it thru the school,but still no hits.
Finally one followed the sp to the boat so I could get a look,YTK!
Naturally I tried everything,popper,metal slug,even a squid head,but no interest!
Aaaaaarrrrggghhh!
