yip well done alright we got a couple of nice snapper one taking most IGFA points, and had some big bust off moments on snapper, we found them in the deep 90m area any deeper were sharks land about 25 kings on day 2 but all rats but where the small ones are mum and dad wont be far away also found a rock about the size of a house rising to 55m out of 75 which held fish what make me wonder is the bloody rock is not shown on any charts
