I too have caught them off the governers bay warf,useing crab, one was a very decent size approx 1m from nose to base of tail, sadly the gaff pulled through trying to lift it on to the lower jetty area, much to the dismay of a regular sea kyaker lol, he not so keen to go paddeling in there now. I was after Rig as I have heard awhisper that they go in that area to breed, I have spoken to one or two local there who say that is true on even saying you can see them out there sometimes? anyone else herd of Rig in the harbour? I notice zac say they are available off the rock wall.
These comercial adds as above are becomeing bloody annoying aye?
