Thanks TTK yes was a mint day alright - we seem to catch them with all sorts - cube of Pillie - cube of squid and even a cube of fresh Kahawai - once your on the patch it doesn't seem to matter to much. I do use more the pillies but another mate he uses a dropper rig just in behind the burley pot and puts on a Gulp Crazy legs with a re-curve hook and pulls them in constantly when where fishing. He doesn't so call fish with it he just sets it in the corner of the boat then throws out his strayline gear and only grabs it once it is buckled over it seems to be very productive....
