hey lads,

Shelly bch wharf is best fished on the in coming tide over high and then the out going (2hrs each way) no burley needed use the ledger rig  (sinker sand grab then two hooks 4-6/0s above ,cut baits like bonito and mullet work good there , fishing of the bch next to wharf (camping ground )works just as well same tides ,night fishing seems to work better of the wharf , at the end of the road ,north (south head rd) is mossie bay better fished over low using the same set up(tackel) except you can use pillies to better effect there.both places have strong currants .

60cm gurnard.  holy ****.   i might start fishing

was there a chap there fishing with an Alvey reel while you were ther Jim

had a friend fishing there and was saying they were getting good carrots .he was there early before tide was up.

In coming tide...Mullet or salted bonito

Anyone been out this way lately?

We fish shelly beach every 3-4 months whilst i am up there bagging some fallow,we walk out to the end of the wharf,turn left and cast back towards the shore.That where i catch the most gurnard. Small cubed pieces Mullet or bonito on a 4/0 mutsu hook,the oilier the better.From early incoming tide and i always have a few rods out.Big baits or different baits get rays or other crap you dont want. I learnt all this from watching a *****.
