Old mandurah bridge

 Hi guys, 

looking at heading down to the old mandurah bridge over the weekend, 

My grandfather swears by the spot, but I thought it had turned shit due to the new bridge being built their, 

can anyone clarify what the fishing is like there, we would be chasing crabs, prawns and table fish, 

Thanks, sharkhunter1

From the bank around it I pulled a couple of flounder an flathead on lures

Just a tip ensure that you have some weight in the bottom of your crab nets to keep them on the bottom.
