newby question
I'm new fishing around Victoria and I wonder if you would share the GPS co-ordinates for fishing Constance Bank... and also are there any particular issues that need special attention out there..(Current, tide change issues, being run down by giant Chinese freighters carrying money back to china)... stuff like that.

This should be able to give you the GPS co-ordinates of Constance bank, or anywhere else around. I just found it, it's a pretty good map!

Oakbay Springs 11 & 9 lbs 
Nice work as usual Craven! Went for a quick fish with Addicted from 1015am-1pm and fished off the Waterfront. We hooked 6 landed 3 all between 5-8lbs. Zero seal problems for us but some were not as lucky. 3.5 inch Spoon out fished squirt combo today 5-1 for us, 1 fish had a nice 7inch herring in its belly, yum. Talked to a boat that was at the bank and it was lumpy and slow for them, one 7lber. Was a little bumpy off the front as well and it didn't seem to ly down like it was forcasted, still a ton of fun.6 keeper crabs too as a bonus.
