Planning to head to Meola this weekend, supposdley the tides are good? Never been there before. Any tips/ things to watch out for?

Useful, thanks, Brad. What's the best spot to park and access the reef? I still haven't fished it!

Hi Tom & Landroverlover,
If you want to fish low tide, generally you would want to exit the first pool about 2 hours after full low to wade back to Garnet Rd. If you are going to exit via park then you can basically retreat a bit later but there are other channels to cross about level with end of Pt Chev peninsula. Also you get lots more rocks and oysters to tramp over!
Most people dont seem to know you can fish the reef through to high tide as I did last weekend. But it really requires berley (usually takes 15-20 mins to get the fish, esp snapper) into your casting zone.
Beware the rays that hoover up your trail though - I foul hooked one last year and it took a good 15 mins to tire out the pest - luckily it broke off before I got around to chopping the leader.

May see you out there as I am planning a quick Sat morning visit myself.

I wonder how the place fishes further into the tide? Because of the tidal cut-off for walking everbody is only fishing that lowest part of the tide. It would be interesting to be there on half incoming or half outgoing. Just need a kayak to get home I suppose.

My friend who lives locally has a small dinghy, so we were thinking of rowing out and casting of that into some deep channels to see how it goes. Maybe beat you to those mussel beds Mark! 

If Fishing over low, access from Garnet rd is best, just cross the creek and you are out there!
