Grrrrr, memories better left forgotten.

That ledge produces alot of KY but not much else when I've been there. Apparently if you go right round to the last bay down Sth Titirangi Rd and fish off the beds at low you can get King Fish swimming through. Once again never caught anything but KY down there.
Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught.
