Dive on the lump we got the dhuies Saturday

Well we hit the spot we got the dhuies on last Saturday. The swell was up a bit and via was not good but we were keen to have a go. After a long drop down the anchor line we set the anchor and moved away, not looking to good flat rock and sand patches.After swimming 20m in could see a dark rise in front of me and headed over to a nice edge and a lump about a meter high with some nice coral. Thing were hard to make out. Then as we came up on the lump there they were fish and plenty of them ,dhuies all around us could have been up to 15 dhuies, from 2-7kg ,baldies and sand snapper ,snapper,harliquin,bb,red snapper,skippy the water was full of fish .As the viz was poor no good taking pics as they would not have shown much .When the water clears up I will get some video and pics of this spot ,we got one dhuies and a nice baldie for dinner got a big female cray for the pic and released her. I think we only seen a small area as we were not too keen to swim far from the anchor,Ther is another lump 50m inside this one all so has good fish .I reacon any little ledge or crack will have good fish .We did a couple of drifts over nwith a line down and no takers ,just shows .. next time will do two up two down and have a good swim around.

Nice work Paul. I'm sure that there are a lot of little lumps that get ignored like this one. Always worth a dive. Were there many resi crays there?
