There was a report earlier in the week from last weekend Troy...reckoned is was running at 1.5 kts and it took 2x12 oz snapper leads to get the bait down. I'm taking a few larger snapper leads just in case, but intend to float line anyway

Cheers

yeh current was raging bream sinker in 40 meters and i was straight down under my rod.did a go away real fast or was someone trying to get a bit more space amongst the traffic out there . oh well did not effect our plans or results.

LMFAO Well whay can I say - I dont bottom bash in the summer time so I am looking for the current lines. IMO the snaps and pearlies should be given some respite during this period when there are better things to be chasing as they already get a pizzlin in winter but I suppose some dont know any other way to fish or how to target them ::)

Better spots out there to look at than on the bank itself for bottom vermin ;) ;D


Cheers
