    Got 1 good one about 5 weeks back, had 3 in the burley trail, very finicky and took a long time and lots of burley before a hook up,but once I did and handed the rod to my nephew who had only got beam and writing before, it rooted is hardest to be rid of us many times and the boys legs were shaking under the strain, had me laughing and yahooing and now the water is even clearer due to no rain I would think it would only be harder to hookup but not imposible, I'll be out there myself again in a couple of weeks to have another go. Note to self, use reef anchor, near lost my $360 sand dredge last time.
    Good luck, let me know how you go

    Was there on Monday, very clear water spooking the kingies.
    There was a big boil next to us, large kingy smashing tailor school lasted 30secs and finished just before throwing a live bait in to action.
    Couple of hits later on but no hook ups.

    Spotted few kingies cruising but not interested in anything, way too clear water.

    Iv thrown poppers at curtain befor, biggest problem I had was other boats motoring around. I had a few follows but once a boat came close the fish wouldn't come up past mid water and were getting spooked very easily. If you had the place to your self you might get lucky
