Congrats cody, your going to be a gun in no time well done nice dhuie

Well done Cody on your PB Dhue!

Luke, people often see such good ground as your sounder shows but they often lack fish quantity. I drive over awesome ground when i'm fishing and ignore. The key is to spend more time on spots that are holding fish/more fish. More spots obviously helps and this info is what i do.....works for me!

Looks like a good lump there luke. Let's hope next time there's a nice big school of dhuies sat on top.

I look for fish regardless of the ground, big/small/hard/coral etc......each to their own, i know wetlinners wont drop on lumps without activity and for all the times i've recalibrated myself ie drop on the fishless ground just in case has produced bugger all!

Well done Cody!

What may not produce fish today might tommorow!

They move and sometimes might not be on the chew!

IF IT SMELLS LIKE FISH IT MUST BE GOOD FOR YOU!

thanks for the info guys...taken on board! interestingly that lump is only about 15-20m across....those pics were taken on 2 drifts....

maybe we should start a thread on sounder pics...( yes i know its been done elsewhere..) so we can share our knowledge on what we find works....i would be interested to see what you guys fish on....

on a side note, if you had  a lump marked on your gps, ..( small coral lump 1m high..10 m across...)  and went to fish it, but on arival there was someone else there..would you drive on..or muscle in?? i only ask, as we got into a exchange of words out there.. on a nice bit of ground i have... a guy came and cut in on our drift ( like 10m away).... i gave him a mouthfull..and he claimed to have had the spot marked for years, which may be true, but surely a bit of manners would come in to play???

your thoughts?

Plenty of water out there Luke

He should have gone to another spot.

If i see a boat in the vicinity, im out of their.  As no worries says, its a big ocean.

Nice fish Cody! Ill put a photo up for ya Luke taken yesterday of a coral lump in

active mode so to speak.  No heavy rock or cracks as yours shows.  We all fish

differently and have different understanding of the bottom which fire at different

times of the year.  Thats fishn!

My take Luke, ppl have spots and he may have that spot as mentioned but i would move on for one reason.........."if he see's you (ok Cody hehehe) get a good fish, he'll hit it again or more in the future"

Take off and come back later if need be, i take off when i see a boat heading towards me unless i'm on average ground then it doesn't matter.....more spots again is the key!

Cody well fished , Keep the old man on his toes

Born to fish forced to work

First off, congrats to Cody on a PB!

Yeah Luke - I share your frustration, I've got a few spots down here and it's very dissapointing when you see someone on them. As the others have said - best to keep going as Ryan said. As for the chap that cut in on your drift - if it's a smallish spot, that's not on. 

On good structure - yeah, again, was given a spot and fished a great looking drop off - zilch! Then drifted off a bit further and bang. If someone's given it to me - it's probably overfished . Still, as Goat said, some spots fire one day and not the next.

Nice pics mate, thanks for sharing.

Well done Luke your a great skipper,put your crew onto the fish,too bad you cant catch any for yourself .I got given a couple of spot out from point peron the other day which where pretty much very close to where ive got a few spots ,but mine were a bit further north, 1nm north ,so pretty much the same ground,when we got there there was another boat out there,we had a look around ,and did a few drift up wind from them ,but we didnt jump infront of their drift. This spot shows up on most maps as a lump ,so its no big secret i got a just size dhuie that i released as i need some good karma for the comp

cheers kal, and yeh, i like your take on things...maybe the dhuie and pinkie i released will bring me good karma for the comp...fingers crossed..lol

Start casting lures of various size and if that doesn't work try sinkers. Or a ging and some marbles works a treat.

Cheers Mick 

Why are they called haemaroids and not asteroids?

just let him fish there go to another spot he obviously cant fish if he cant find his own ground.
maybe offer him some mullies for bait as you leave.
