Always herring there, can
Always herring there, can troll plastics and metals or you can anchor and burley. Good chance of skippy and juvi sambos if you burley up. Heaps of wrasse which is a pain. Best area to anchor is on the inside anywhere near where the rocks stop and the first bridge pylon, thats where I get most of my fish.

Just on the inside edge of the entrance
Cockburn Sound Rokkie side ............humungous skippy are commonplace on a rising tide .....not under the bridge but the first twenty or so metres of groin, whitebait works well
My best a little over three kgs so worth fishing light for some real fun

Sunshine hit the nail on the
Sunshine hit the nail on the head, that corner produces the most fish. I use 3inch plastics but whitebait and baby mulies will also work. Last summer I was fishing there when a school of 15kg sambos came through smashing all the herring, gardies and yellowtail on the surface. Good little spot when its too rough outside
