I headed out to the 20 fathom line looking for some good dropoffs to drop a jig onto but couldn't find anything so started back in to the shallower reefs, about 20-27m deep. Just drove the boat around looking for fish, drop the plastic and motor on for about 100m and then shut the engine off and slowly work the plastic back to the boat. Nailed a fish that went well, I was calling it for a rat king when this splashed up to the surface!!!
I was very happy to say the least, also was within 500m of the harbour too which is good to know.
I also took the time to play around with my sounder trying to learn how to use it - I discovered the zoom screen that allowed me to display the bottom 4-6 metres rather than the whole 30 metres of water, heaps more details, the bottom is so rough!!!
Details of the gear?
