    Lost at 1770

    Hi guys Its my first time at 1770 we got out for a couple hours after lunch today but struggled to find much if any activity around some of the close marks even the livies didnt want play the game . So am I missing something? wrong time of year? There must be something around as the house we are staying ( Banksia rest ) smells a bit fishy. Cheers Shaun.

    Yes sorry about that Shaun, tried to keep the smells at bay. Just spent 2 weeks there. The bait grounds were quite but plenty out a bit wider. Some good fish around if you can get out around the reefs. There were a few that struggled to find fish.

    Next question can you eat trigger fish (don't laugh) I caught some on soft plastic had good fun bringing them in, I was on a Charter here 3 years ago we through them back but not sure what they are like, If i could catch something decent it wouldn't matter.

    Shaun
    What size boat and what sort of fuel range do you have?

    A few boats were doing alright drifting just inside of Outer Rock at Bustard Head.

    Hmmm, I was in that house too Shaun with the rest of the guys. We were leving just as the cleaner turned up and she was filling in for the regular and she was pretty well hung over so was probably not travelling too quick.

    Hope you do well for you time there.

    Out around the Banana Gutter area last week was a heap of bait. Really big schools from West of the 5 mile right out to the green zone South West of Musgrave...........it was all along that southern line. I'd be trying to find that and prepare for marlin, reds, trout, nannys, cod, snapper and a host of other species.
