Lad's you'll give me a swelled head about that pic..! Im already a bit of a fathead as it is..! :-)

Couple of people have asked me about Brandon, Im no expert on the area at all but what we have found is that we have caugh more bass at low water, first thing at morning and for the first 3 hours of the rise. We presume theyy run the coast and into the estuary but this is guess work.
Take at look at the area at low water and mark out the gullies, we wait for them to flood a bit and try shallow diving minnows. Can be great..!

The area is completely random though. One evening we turned up at the rocks at 5pm to spin for macks, high tide, sun blazing and start catching Bass to beat the band. I have also fished up to and past high water and on the walk back along the beach have stumbled across bass, 2 hours on the drop.
It can be a frustrating area to fish. Hard to predict. We're fishing it for about 14 years now..! We tend to use it as a base and move around the penninsula from there. We know a good few of the locals at this stage and just love the place..!
