bass lover the area just below bird island has some nice lay downs, drop offs and stump fields, most of the bigger fish were caught there in the ESA comp as did all the bigger fish in pre fishing and the CFC, bigest being 2.2kg, plus a couple break offs. Also in front of mile17 there is a bluegume tree in front of it is another stump field in 18 to 22ft of water.
It seems like a black splat DD22 and a Texas Shad DD22 did most of damage, with most fish coming out of the 20ft+ range. Also a mojo rigged super fluke and brush hog seem to produce the goods but fish it very slowly as most of the time the take was short and you ended up missing the fish.
