I'm not too sure but id say they are scarce in that area clunedog you'd be better of sticking to a shallower rock mark or an estuary like the Saleens , I had 1 yesterday there on a feed shallow it was just over 4lb my biggest on the lures to date it put up a good scrap. My first few casts I noticed swirls behind and beside the lure ( top water ) after my 5th r 6th cast i changed to the feed shallow ( Sub surface ) the fish nailed it as soon as I started the retrieve :lol: Happy Days . We stayed on for another few hours but after that no more fish .
If I'm not gonna catch a fish , I may aswell not catch a BIG fish !
