the 'cloud' has been sighted since then so maybe they'll stick around?

because they are a deep fish, usually around 30 meters and when you shoot one at 10m you are an awesome diver?

anyway, killem all

Diver Dan, I think for most of us average divers to get one goldie is the goal then leave it at that given they appear to be "resident" fish from what I am reading.  Most of us weekend divers don't have the knowledge or dive coverage to know where they are anyway, so most of the time we're dreaming if we think we will see them.

Wont say where, but I got my first goldie yesterday.Thumbs%20Up
Bloody stoked!
Not a big one by any means, but a goldie is a goldie.
Was underneath an overhang amongst the rubble at what I guess would be about 27metres with the sand at 29-30. School of about 7 of them. Schools of mado cleaning kingies made the dive a bit more scenic. I pretty much sat out the rest of the day because I was chilled to the bone and couldnt get warm but the others reported fish were conspicuous by their absence. A quick splash around for gurnard right on dusk (dunno if it's sensible) resulted in no gurnard, cool story eh.
