| Just had a look on the Navionics web app and sure enough it's on there... What exactly are the "spoil grounds"? |

I think it has something to do with being a control area for research. The edges of the channel fish well for snapper & gurnard. ------------- http://www.legasea.co.nz" rel="nofollow">
