Did the drift perfect conditions early only managed a red rock cod and a blue spot also lost something very big bit me off but had a very enjoyable day

Makos and other sharks frequent the reefs off manly, have tangled with them often...(and always came out the loser)

i think this time of year you will find the flatties in deeper water- 50m ++ 

Try that spot again in march/April when they come inshore to breed..... they are prolofic
