Yea the park is closed, lots
Yea the park is closed, lots of rain and still a lot of work going on out there with the roads and stuff. Fishing has been good out east of town tho, plenty of big herring and whiting and a few salmon starting to show up to. If the swells down Thers always a good chance of grouper off the rocks to

Yea 12/ 13 mile is usually pretty reliable
If its not to sanded up. There is a track in befor the 5 mile aswell with a deep channel running out between the reef, always get a good Feed there. 4 mile out west of town is worth a shot to, it's the one just near barrens beach, good for bread and butter fish an got a few tailor out there to recently, also not a bad spot for sharks after dark. It does get a bit weeded up after a big swell tho.
