Balmoral-24/4

[nickb111]

Arrived at the balmoral jetty 5 mins before first light, to see small bust ups near the boats. The bait these fish were chasing was small finger length silver and blue fish, so I tied on a 20 gram blue and black raider. I hoped for kingfish, but after a few casts hooked up to a frigate mackerel. Fished for the next hour for another 4 before the school disappeared. Good day overall!

This both helps and doesnt! It confirms that its up to luck if they're there, but absolutely doesn't cause I have no idea of knowing where theyll be! Finding the baitfish seems as easy as finding them too

Cheers,
