great spot indeed gavin. it really was flat calm the whole weekend, and with little to no surf. would like to return some day when theres a bigger surf to see what it throws up! thanks

saving private brian wrote:love the pics here,,,,i seen this beach was used by the total sea fishing magazine team for a flattie session a while back,,,it seemed to throw up much better at night as flats over the 40cms were caughtmmmwell done Charles and crew
thanks brian. i fished 2 hours into dark the first night with nothing to show for it but then again the tide was down and only starting to come back up again. the best fishing was at high tide earlier in the day.
maybe a high tide coinciding with dusk might be worth a go, or indeed into dark. also, the tides were very small that weekend too
yeah, i read that report on the World Sea Fishing forum..
cheers

I'll head out some evening over the next few weeks to get my fix and see what's about!
