Roughly at 12 08.100S 130 23.000E from memory. An online AIS tracker with a map will locate it for you, she's west of the statrt of the north and south gutters

How'd you go? I ended up at the Fentons and could see the Stena on the horizon. Couldn't stop think of the possibilities if we had gone there

Would be a nice day out there today. Waters like glass.

Headed out there on the weekend just gone. We pulled up the 3 biggest power tail that I have seen, each was around the 1m mark but they were clean, lean and very strong. I didn't realise they would be that far out to sea. If they were that size in a billabong they would have been fat, green and slimy.

Has anyone been out to the rig lately? I need to blow the cobwebs out of my rig and was thinking of doing a run out there on Sunday morning.

Poor boat has not had a spray of salt in months.

Cheers,

Went out last week in the night and it was fairly lumpy but managed to troll up some Spaniards 8-12kg. Rapala deep divers (as deep as possible) red and white did the damage as it outfished anything else 4-1. Fish the southern side under the lights and hang on.stayed away from the huge schools of trevally on the sounder too.
Good luck
