I think lots of people did it tough out there mate, we fished hutchies for 3 strikes 1 hook up and one dirty big stinking barracudda landed, was average out there.
I heard boats in the sunny coast classic talking throughout the day i think everything was rather slow. My only suggestion would be try a hex head skirted lure, we had rapalas and halcos out yesterday but the hex head in a dark colour was the only thing to get a touch.
