I won't take offence that you can't spell our lovely town.  I take it you are shore fishing?  If that is the case, try the spoil bank opposite the hospital.  6 mile is good for crabbing.  If you have a boat, 1km South of 23 marker and you will always get fish.  Good for kids.  Best of luck.

Spoil Bank

I agree, if it's shore fishing with the kids, the spoil bank would be the way to go.

Hey Mitch

Try thrownetting up the far end of the spoilbank ,it used to be all right when i lived there.Be careful of the full tide as most of the spoilbank can get covered on big tides.Threadfin salmon used to run down the harbour side and the occasional mackie on the incoming tide.
