Rodbender i was chatting to ya in the carpark as you were leaving in your national lampoons vacation camper van :wink:I also blanked but think it was the fact i had 4/0 hooks on with monster baits its a bad habit i slip into every so often catch a big fish and then try and target them all the time ,isnt that right Coyser ,The lads with me all caught fish with the Coysers secret weapon small hooks catch alot more fish(1/0s ) and hes right again 2 and 3 hook flappers :evil: They all caught a selection of decent sized whiting,flatties and a couple of Scorpion fish just to spice things up a bit.And another chap with his son beside us down to our right was also landing fish??As mitch said Fish into Darkness 2hrs up and 3hrs down.And its also possible you werent fishing where X marks the spot :lol: Can pm details for your next assault on Kilcoole.
