Hey Bulldog,

I agree with JnW in that i think it was probably a black. Might have been a blue, but more than likely not in that depth.

I've heard of a few blacks showing up over the last week.

Cheers

Bulldog, There is alot of water between each black this season so far. Some have been lucky to be at the right place at the right time. I have only caught 1 this season and alot of hours has been put in with no result, may have to try new tactics.
