Bit of a late report but seeing how there aren’t many reports lately, thought I would post it anyways. Went out a few days ago for a couple hours. Dropped a couple prawn traps for a very quick soak as plans had changed and I only had two hours before dark. Dropped first the downrigger down to 212 ft and was getting the other rod ready when the first shaker was on. Released beside the boat unharmed. Got the second rod out and within minutes had a nice fish on. This fish took some line and felt like a descent fish, but lost him half way up. In the next two hours, had 8 strikes with 5 to the boat and three lost. Two looked just under and were released boatside. What a great day on the water (fairly calm) and very good winter fishing.
