Current

Anyone been out in the last couple of days (or week) & can shed some light on the current.
Went out last week and fished the back of the bank & the current was ripping.
Sea anchor out one side and fishing the other side with horizontal lines. Couldn't hold bottom.
Perfect day on the surface.
Actually had a cray boat pull up next to us a he said 'Every pot he's dropped in his line has taken the floats down as well'..
Anyway got f*ck all out there so we moved in and fished some lumps in the 40's.
Beautiful day on top of the water, but a bad day below...
Gonna head out again on the weekend but can't be f*cked going all that way for the same conditions..
Would go for a squid in Safety Bay but that sounds like a 'Shit" idea too.....
Any thoughts!
