Heading up to Leigh for a week at the beginning of December. Keen to target kingfish with jigging &/or stick baits and soft baits/slow jigs for everything else. Don't know the area at all but got gps & sounder. Any or all top tips appreciated please. Also is the boat ramp easy? Thanks in advance

Head down to the wharf and or pub and chat to locals, including the coms guys...found them to be a friendly bunch up there.

There is a lot of reef straight out from the harbour entrance on the left - there are usually kings there and I have caught a few on jigs from the kayak, but the area can be quite sharky so I have had a few chopped in half on the way up. Snapper fishing can be very good on the upcurrent side of the reef - just use the sounder.
