it would be a bit windy
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

depends
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.

if you can find some nice weather the nget across asclose as possible to the mackeral islands. there are some nice spaniards over there and weve come across a massive school of mahi mahi. just troll around some big halco laser pro'sand you should hook up pretty soon.
Theres absolutely nothin like hookin up to the first biggun of the day. JACKO W.
