We have a bit of ground most likely to be the area to find a broadbill. Just wondering which bit would be the most likely area to look.
Basically a trench that drops off from 200m down to 4-500m then rises to an end of a underwater peninsula, peaking at around 320m. This plateau then falls away on the seaward side down to 6-800m. So we have a trench at around 4-500m, then a peninsula at 320m - (we fish this for groper/bluenose etc), then some seriously deep water.
Should we be looking on the slopes, in the bottom of the trench (3-5km across) , on the flat area of the peninsula or the slopes to the really deep water ?
We have generally drifted around the plateau and the slopes on the edge down to around 400m. No luck so far. We wonder if not looking deep enough? or maybe nobody home.
Thanks
Alan
