What kind of clues do you look for when targeting Big Eye? Temps, depths etc?????
From memory over the last couple years they have been caught fairly wide

Alderman rise and Merc knolls are 2 great places to target. daybreak fishes best but bit hard when you have 30-40 nm to travel to get there.
TK might help if he sees this post(commercial fisho who knows whats going on)Wink
