Almost every bay on the east

Almost every bay on the east side gate has heaps of big yellow fin whiting and flat head. Great fun with the kids flicking soft plastics around. I always do well using pumpkinseed 4 inch turtle back worms.

Have caught GT, Mack’s, mulloway, emperors, trevs, snapper and much much more all casting small stixkbaits on the inside of dirk. One of my favorite things to do and don’t let wind put you off. Casting into a howling easterly pays off as fish feed against the rocks in the stirred up water.
