mate ,although i haven't done it for a while ,i used to get consistent results straight out from the bay,we used to start in 42metres of water and if we found the fish were too small we used .to. go a bit deeper,or shallowerto look for the right size fish,keep your gps on and when you get a fish or two use that to go back over the same drift ,cause the fish seem to be in groups

cheers arman

Thanks Arman, I have heard the drift directly off the Bay in 4-50m depths was worth a go. Will try your advice when I get a chance. Your help is much appreciated. Mike!!

Gday mate, plenty around atm, bagged out on them last saturday, all fish where caught in 39-42 meters south of port hacking, best bait was fresh salted mullet fillets and large hawkesbury prawns. Probably wasting your time if you start cathing jackets though, good luck.
