Hey Rosco1974,

Sounds like a good day out. I looked in the Beacon to Beacon but could not find any mention of the reserve banks - where would you find these banks? My wife and middle daughter just love catching a feed of whiting but don't like sitting around for hours so this sounds likely spot to take them.
Cheers,

I assume Rosco was referring to the Naval Reserve Banks. Try Map 79, page 130 (7th Edition), just north west of Peel Island and south west of the Amity Banks. Comes up to 16/18 feet of water out of 30'+.
