i went to the 3 mile off hillarys about 3 weeks ago and landed 2 dhuie's (65cm + 59cm) plus a couple of blackass', 1 ray, 5 rat sambos and the usual skippy and wrasse etc. Went back to the same mark 2 days later and first drop was a dhuie (53cm). Been back 3 times since looking around but landed nothing of significance except for today where a mate pulled up a 57cm king george.

yea your right about the wall of heat.... you know as soon as u hit that. i went up to staggles reef, trolled most of the way. seen heaps of bait balls, even seen a show room example of a bait ball with larger fish underneath it but could get anything interested in the lures. i was devo.... had a bottom bounce for a while, caught a heap of wrase, and 1 undersize black ass...... was a lovely day out though. it seems every body was goin out as i was coming in..... oh well
