Hi, I've been fishing inside the harbour over the last 6 months and generally do well enough to catch dinner. I launch at the main ramp and head up the harbour to where it first goes around the corner. Most luck I've had is in the relatively shallow water (only 2-3m deep). I use burley and pilchards for bait until I catch a KY then use that as well. Caught some good snappers around 50cm as well as gurnards and trevally too. Also the odd shark and sting ray too plus lots of KY's.
Good Luck!

i didn't think much of it as well, if you want to keep away from the rough water and catch fish the coro mussel farms are good all the time
