no transducer/fishfinder
Submitted by bayliner on Tue, 2012-08-28 19:40
Hi guys im at the mercy of you all please help!!!!!!!!!! the wife wants us to go out fishing on saturday along with our 6 year old son, the swell is a bit too high for me to venture out (newbie) so thought maybe put the boat in at cockburn (protected from garden island) since my replacement transducer/ fish finder is on its way to me from ch marine i need some areas to fish, please any ideas? i need almost a dead cert area!!!! (if they exist) just enough to keep them busy........... snapper/whiting would be good.. or even a sambo if the wifes on the other end!!!!!! i have navionics on my i phone and the gps still works on my northstar657 HELP

If you're a newbie and theres
If you're a newbie and theres a fair bit of swell I definitely would not reccomend mewstone, especially just going out with the missus and child for a bit of fun. Try Parmelia bank in between woodmans point and carnac, for whiting, squid, herring or the shipping channel for whiting and flathead

Just checked the forecast for
Just checked the forecast for Saturday, 3m+ swell and westerly winds mewstone will definitely be a no go, will be like a washing machine out there. Another good spot if you're willing to travel to the southern end of the sound is just inside the coathanger bridge. A totally protected spot from wind and swell anchor up about 50m before the bridge about 20m out from the rocks, plenty of skippy and herring there last time I checked, just need some burley to get them going. Hope this helps good luck

Yep what beau said, and in
Yep what beau said, and in the sand patches straight out from the big bridge we can normally get some nice whiting/ flounder. Squid is always worth a go !! The channels hold lots of rays if you get bored haha
