floreat drain

Hi

I have recently moved to perth and haven't had a chance to do much fishing.

I was planning on heading down to floreat drain tomorrow. I've checked the tide and it looks like it will be droping to low tide while im there. I was wondering if its worth fishing at low tide or am I better off trying somewhere else?
I would appreciate any feedback.

Cheers

Paddy

I thought it would be quite weedy because of the strong winds we've had recently. I'm not sure, only been to floreat a handful of times

seems to fish better there

when the tide is coming in and just before the sun goes down. Unless your thing is catching 10cm whiting. The carpark there is commonly bad - breakins. So park elsewhere in suburbia and walk. Weed may be an issue at the moment as Mel said. Seem to remember hearing that the council was thinking of banning fishing at the drain but that hasn't happened yet.
