At this time of year you can troll Halco minnows 150mm and expect both Yellowfin & Mack Tuna, the odd spanish will also be about. WNW of the blinker is a shoal thats worh a look.

I fish the area a bit - plus the outers which are also not far out. I usually anchor up and fish the bottom. At the same time I have a berley trail going with a floater in it. System works well.

I would agree on using floaters. Some spots are less than eight metres deep and a floater will work it's way to the bottom if you anchor up. Even a dead pillie will sometimes catch something great if you're there just before sunlight. Snapper (might be a bit early in the season for a big one), maori cod, sweetlip are the usual but probably in small numbers (all you really need anyway).
