Not firing at the moment

The FFB is not turning up much at the moment, well not for me any way if you cross over the bank and keep your eyes glued to your sounder look for minor ledges these may be only half a metre or so and you have to keep your eyes open, they produce good snapper and the occasional dhui at times you just have to stop and burly a lot if nothing decent shows after half an hour move.

 Never had much luck there except at dawn. The fishing is a bit better around the 30m contour and only another 2-3 mile out
