Raised a 15kg or so sail last weekend between Fenton and North gutter, he was hanging around a big buoy floating around out there.. Lost him a couple times but he wasn't overly aggressive for the baits

Had one swimming around the electric motor on spot lock at Sth gutter 2 days ago. Hooked it on a gulp but dropped it after a short fight. Probably would have gone 15kg to 20kg.
