Augusta fishing options? With just the mrs and my young bloke

 Hi all, 

 

heading to Augusta during the week and need some help / advice on a couple of things. Basically I will be there for about a week for some r&r.

it will be just me, the mrs and our baby. The mrs has no dramas with me heading out for a fish each day but I got no idea what is on offer down that way. I know the main river that runs through town should hold black bream and the odd chopper tailor. My main question being is it worthwhile taking my 15 foot tinnie?

bearing in my I will be launching and retrieving on my own. Is there a safe launching option to get out in the shallows of the ocean down there? Not sure if the marina is open as yet??

 

i am mainly on the hunt for whiting and a few skippy so if anyone can point me in the right direction either land based or in the tinnie I would greatly appreciate it.

Black bream

 Boat ramp near malloy island caravan park to launch in the river. Puts you straight into black bream country and maybe some crabs at this time of year but not 100% on that.
