hi man, :) think if you went spinnin from 1ish, try and fish the main coast, well outside any eustuary, from 1.30/4.30 looks like the best time, the moon is in transit at 2.30 so the "golden" hour fron 2/3 am goin out myself at 12ish theres a bit more cloud cover today so i expect the fish 2 be in closer most of the fish in the past week have been taken at long range,

I found this website recently for free solunar predictions, it seems like a handy site but I'm just curious to know how it corresponds with your own calculations?

Cortaz,

probably just a typo but it looks like you went out 11 times. Thats a really good average - 5 fish per session. Who makes the shallow feed lure? I can get the marias and x raps no bother.
