JonD Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I saw plenty off the north end of Montague while diving a coup,e of weeks ago, ive since fished there for them without any luck. At least the kings have turned up in numbers and size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TunaSickle Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) I've trolled the harbour over the last few weeks and not seen any. Plenty of small Tailor. Previous years they have almost been a pest gulping lures. Edited December 20, 2016 by TunaSickle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just there for 5 days with the family. Didn't fish the rocks but they are there just not in great numbers. Went there 3 times for a look. 2 of the times it was pretty rough so not many fishing the other time there were about 5 caught with a sixth caught off the point by a guy spinning.
