Kings on the Pole.

I was on a solo trip, stayed from 7th - 8th Nov.
Shaun was up there with a mate in his boat. They counted 31 hook ups on the Saturday alone.
I lost plenty of fish on the wall, they were hard up under it, needed to float down squid baits.
I also lost fish to the pole both downrigged and on popper.
The fish boiled up at the pole first thing in the morning.
