Hey guys, another update
Went out again yesterday with a couple of mates and after no luck trolling decided to anchor and berley some baitfish up. We had a couple of hours of pretty crazy fishing - every live bait that touched the water was mauled within two minutes and we took turns fighting them in. Plenty of bonito and rat kings, as well as one king which just made it and some thumping salmon, the biggest of which was 66cm. Again, great fun with a couple of mates.
I also hooked a decent size bronzie casting towards the shore with a live bait. He was probably in about 10 feet of water. Kept him on for about 5 mins but he was only playing around with me, would have been at least 4.5/5 feet long I reckon. I won't be swimming there again any time soon, especially with all these fish around.
The fish were absolutely everywhere but wouldn't take anything apart from livies. Pillies, bait tank casualties and fresh lumps of bonito were rejected all day long.
