Hey again, I’m planning on going to Murray’s bay wharf on Saturday and would like to know if any one has had good results there? Thanks!

It depends on your view of "good results", I was down there the otherday & one of the old Asian gentleman had half a dozen (blue mao mao I think but may have been trev's?) about the size of a ten - twenty cent piece, he seemed happy with his catch.

Most people down there nowdays use covered buckets & bins for their catch, so it's less likely to spoil your day.

Squid & piper would probably be the best target species there.

Yeah ok, my friend said he once saw someone pull up a huge snapper but I’m not convinced haha
