Can only relate what you already would be aware of dunc333...structure.    bn

Be a big ask to get a 1kg leatherjacket in the Harbour, maybe a big Sixspine or more towards the Heads you may encounter a Mosiac which get over a Kilo.

The common type you would get in the Harbour, Yellowfin and Fanbelly get up that size but that would be pushing their limit and would be rare.

Good luck and I hope you get one. Let us know how you go.

yes thanks mate in summer i get some good size ones at the weddingcake but not so in winter i seem to catch alot of small ones 250grams to 500grams. i really enjoy the sportsmanship of catching them it like a game of chess it has come quite addictive lol .

Send a PM to Wazathefisherman. He will know where they get to in Winter. He's a wealth of knowledge and will always help somebody out if he can. Good luck, bn
