Coral Bay Reds

Hi Everyone
Heading up for the annual Coral Bay trip at Easter this year. Keen to hear everyone's experience with what you find works best to chase the Big Reds up there.
We have typically headed out to the 60-70m area and looked for either small bommies or broken ground. Typically use the standard bottom bouncing rigs with mullies and fresh flesh strips. Last trip we had some success with jigs, but found that to be less successful and more of a novelty. Soft plastics also seem to be ok on their day - 7" nuclear chicken seems to be alright - although again, not so much as to separate it from any other method.
Interested to hear if anyone does anything out of the box on this.

your pretty much on the
your pretty much on the money.
Reds wont normally take jigs or plastics that much, they prefer bait, but you will get Rankins, trout, spangles on jigs and plastics.
Depth wise is pretty good, even look a little deeper out to the 80's
