Ok, so once you find them and anchor, do you cast pass where you think they are slowly 'roll' the bait back to the boat or
cast on top of them and wait or
a bit of both, and find what is working on the day.
When anchored, is it best to use a patenoster rig or running sinker rig?, or, again, try and see what is working on the day.
I drift shallow around Altona and Williamstown.
Thanks in advance.
80% of these were caught on whiting n snapper snatchers at anchor of Werribee ..
They were by catch as I was targeting Gummy's....
They are all 40 cm plus

Thread is for Westernport though Bowl, so Werribee may not be that useful
