Most people go to tanker
Most people go to tanker jetty(the long one). Squid is the go here and herring are like blowies. Skippy is good here as well.
Taylor st jetty is good for KG whiting. Use fresh squid and burley up with squid waste to draw them in. You can also back ur car right to the end of the jetty once all the commercial charters are done for the day.
The beaches west of town are good for skippy and herring. Salmon in season. Bit of a hike on foot with some.
Theres stones in legrand national park. Last they were talking about anchors at the popular spots. Not sure if its been done yet.Theres a tackle store near red rooster. They'll be a better source of info.
Goodluck

the beaches west of town im
The beaches west of town im talking about theres a reef running parralel to the beach. quite close as well. pretty obvious with google earth. cant remember the name. 10 or 12 mile. go past twilight cove near the windfarms. big skippy around there.
If you have a 4000 size reel with 2 spools of 20lb and 10lb and a 7ft rod should cover most bases. A handline is handy for herring off the jetty.
putting out a burley trail on the beach is pretty important. Dont bother with ganged hooks. Salmon respond well to burley so a single hook can cover salmon , skippy and bull herring. Off the tanker jetty the herring and gardies in the top third of water and skippy off the bottom. The squid will hit cheap razorbacks to expensive yozuris. Colour can vary between mainly pink and green sometimes orange.
