Camping as part of school get together weekend just gone. Even though daughter started vomiting 3am Sat, I hit the beach 5.40am with mulies and gang hooks only. Plenty of bites stripping the mulies but nothing big. Jagged a small whiting so put that on. 6.40am and fish jumping out of the water chasing bait, looked like tailor size. Within casting distance but no hits. In the end a ray took the whiting. Others on the beach had no luck either.
Friend caught herring about 7.30am onwards and many had little bite marks on them. They returned Sun morning but earlier and caught nothing.

Also saw herring in the shallows of the river. It was great to get out for a fish but was the worst camping we have had due to daughter being sick - in the camper trailer both nights.

Grey nomads had been there 4 weeks and said the fishing was very lean compared to other years.
