In the tropics. Im guessing at channel markers, flotsam...I hear channels between reefs with current. But is it in front of the white water/waves or behind? As close to the reef as you can throw it? 15-20m ok?just want to get intel to increase my chances...  thanks ------------- The gods do not subtract from the allotted span of men's lives the hours spent on fishing - Assyrian Proverb |

| I found casting into surf worked for me, being careful to not put it on dry reef |

Thanks Jac23. The GRs hang at the back of the swell or cruise the reef in front of the White water? Or do I look for gaps in the reef and cast at that. Other wise I could troll a 2m bibbed Halico along the reef edge?? ------------- The gods do not subtract from the allotted span of men's lives the hours spent on fishing - Assyrian Proverb |

Definitely gaps in the reef. Gts ambush prey in the broken water/surf. Casting from boat found it best to cast right into the surf. Areas with heaps of current. Trolling the edge will pick up all sorts of pelagics. Doggies, wahoo etc |
