If you are there when its just coming on to a spring tide its well worth doing some spinning at the end of the spit past wig bay caravan park, right at the end where the small island is, ideal time 1.5hrs after high water, 20g toby, ideally wade out a little, be carefull of the wash from the hss though, great place for some Bass, we started off fishing from there and progressed a bit further out in the boat. Still have not found a place like that down here yet!
Tight lines
