it would be a bit windy there at the moment and i dont think there is too much in close for a tinny. exxy would be a good spot for the tinny fishing from tantas inside the reef or coral bay

how far your willing to venture in your tinnie.

it is still windy there (october being the worst)

try the creeks to the north of beadon creek for muddies/jacks etc.

 if the weather permits get out to the reef around ashburton island 20km out, at least if the SW  breeze picks up, your coming home with it rather than into it.

 if your into a bit of diving/spearing the reefs around twin islands north of beadon creek arent to bad. alot of bombies and a ledge that drops vertically from 2 down to 12 meters.
