Spent last week down there. Plenty of crabs in the cut, good sizes too. Tailor are thick at Madora, San Remo and Silver Sands but majority undersize.

Fishing Miami was better with fish averaging 35ish cm.

Yellowfin whiting are big and plentyful in the gutters at singleton early morn.

Also plenty of bonnet sized rays to play with a night along the beaches for some fun!

San Remo

Ditto to Samc, spent 2 hours at San Remo tonight 6pm-8pm landed 12 tailor, only one hit 32 but released him to fight another day, he was right on sunset aswell, the choppers seemed to hang around til about 8 then got to windy, but its good fun just throwing a weighted mulie out and having a little battle..

park in the carpark at the end of Eros place walk down the stairs and try and find a spare spot, haha.

 Goodluck!!

Was down there this week,

Was down there this week, went out on the boat on tuesday, launched at around 7 30 but was back by 9 15 as we already had out likit of crabs, good crabbing this year.

Also went fishing in the cut, right up the top by the estuary,  the area is not accesible by car, so we cycled, decent fishing, found a sand spot and got a few whiting, small snapper, small bream and a flounder, so fishing is good.

 

Used prawn for back with just a simple rig, a crossline swivel with a weight on the bottom and a small long shank hook.

 

Good luck
