To celebrate a friends end of uni exams, I was invited down south on a two day beach and estuary fishing trip. As always local knowledge is priceless and after an oath of silence and list of concequences I agreed on the terms and was guided to a friends secret stretch of beach on the wahpole coastline. Thirty minutes by 4wd on a challenging sandy track and then a steep fifty degree thick chest high scrub, rocky cliff decent walk we arrived on the beach. With a solid 2 meter heavy beach break and strong beach current i was unsure of our success but sure enough imediately the fish were on.

Using a range of rigs from an unweighted mulie or strip baits to spoon sinker beach rigs fish would fire in a gutter then go quiet. This would mean moving 25 to 50 meters and you would find them again.

 Loads of XL Tommy rough, Tarwhine we on all day ranging from 27 to 35 cms, Great skippy of all sizes up 1.5 kgs & plenty of those! The occasional salmon with a late afternoon hot bite, but all runts up to 2kg. Dropped a 5kg plus salmon in the beach break. Talior, flathead and a solid blue eyed blackfish(black Johnson)

The treck out was hard goin but very worthwhile

Great session all round!
