I'm also seeing reports of barrels down there atm. Apparently 3 came in today with more spotted in close. :wtf: Hooking one of them in shallow would get very interesting. :o

It depends sometimes its leave Melb at crazy o clock and fish first light, but driving down the night before is preferred. I'm driving down Fri night and staying in a motel to fish first thing Saturday. There is space if you were thinking of making the trip.
That is very very tempting, I have a friends housewarming on Saturday though.

Do you have any offshore experience? Where have you fished before? Maybe worth introducing yourself in the say g'day section
