Thanks mate. Appreciate your comments :thumbsup:
Definitely not a spot for a crowd. 18 hours in total on those rocks and only saw 1 other person fishing for whiting in the shallows. Don't think that'll be happening again anytime soon!
You fished on that rock for 18 hours?! Some of you guys on here are extremely committed or mental...respect to you all.
P.S. Very entertaining post everyone (it's like a 'Where's Wally' but with angry people and Couta slime lubricant)

I went for a look the first time with a couple rods spinning for a few hours and last Saturday went from sun-up till just before sun-down...maybe a small mental issue aswell :rofl:

It's not unusual to spend 2-3 (more) days on a ledge chasing tuna or marlin. Unless the ledge has artificially restricted access like at JB, quite often LBG guys will take multiple trips to carry in all their gear... aerators, pumps, bait pools, cooking stuff, food, water, gaffs etc and just stay there for the entirety of their trip. Unless you can find a campground walking distance to a ledge (there are a couple but not many) it's too hard to pack up every night, walk out then be back at 3am the next morning to try and get live baits. Unfortunately it looks like the ALBAA site is gone, because there were some epic stories up there about guys camping out the front ledges at JB for days at a time and needing to employ the help of a helicopter to get tuna off one of the ledges there.
Chasing LBG and sharing a love for the Martial Arts, everywhere, all the time.
