Stop and get some livies at the markers on the way out, you can troll them or just free swim one on a bit of wire out the back while your bottom bashing. Where are you leaving from?
If i was you i would head strait past Hutchys and around to brennans. We have been cleaning up there on sweetlip and jobfish lately (snapper aswell but we all know they are tabboo for a little while)
that whole area is dead between 8 am until around 5pm and you will get nothing but heatstroke and pickers.
We normally head out in the afternoon, anchor on a a bit of structure and berly hard with 3 baitrunners out , 1 livie and the other 2 with ganged pilchards (current can varie so sometimes you need a bit of weight and other times you need a balloon. we usually try a couple of different depths until we find the strike zone so to speak.
Nothing sounds better than a 4500 baitrunner going off at full noise

no mudcrabs at brennans bronco dude ! but like old mate said it`s a desert during daylight hours and can be rather hectic at night with the right bait and set up.what size boat are you going in as there is a bit of swell around the last few days? Cheers Andrew
after checking sea breezei`d like to clarify my comments on swell size and you could more than likely get away with a 3.8 tiller steer! (this is being sarcastic and the greatest of care should always be taken offshore in little boats!) hope you catch plenty . Cheers Andrew.

Hey Broncodude did you end up getting to Hutchies and how did you go?
Cheers Marto
Gutz we have have 7 meter cruise craft so got there easy we ended up going to brennans and got a mixed bag of reefies
Yeah Hutchies is hot and cold as is Brennans but when they are good they are good.
Had a relatively quiet evening at Hutchies a couple of weeks back on the moon but picked up the S/Mackeral in my avatar plus some other mixed reefies, no complaintsNo Snapper of course
Hope you enjoyed your 1st time out at Brennans broncodude, and yeah a 7m CC is a serious enough rig.
