Bo, I've just finished reading the October edition of BushnBeach. Brad Smiths' article on page 29 "Guide to Bradwater" is exactly what your after. Check it out when you can.

Hope this helps

I've had a lot of success ' trolling' at The Rolls Room, Melbas' and Zacs' at Southport.

I'm getting a little older these days, and the targets are changing. Finding it harder to get the prefered species, but persistence usually pays off.

Trouble is remembering where I had the best results and identifying the capture.

phil,
as i've got older I've got smarter - learnt from nature.
Let the predators go through the school first then pick up the remnants on the outside, they are normally weakened & wounded, easy pickings.

p.s still pays to troll good structure
