If you pump bass yabbies at low tide and fish in the channel there's no need to go outside, plenty of whiting inside the port.Kimtown wrote:Yeah it's probably best if I just give it a miss with my boat. Not worth the risk I guess.
Which leads me to my next question.
Where are the best fishing areas around there? Lol
Wait what? You can pump yabbies that side of the prom and there is KGW in the cove?hornet wrote:If you pump bass yabbies at low tide and fish in the channel there's no need to go outside, plenty of whiting inside the port.Kimtown wrote:Yeah it's probably best if I just give it a miss with my boat.

In the port as in Welshpool, pump the yabbies at low tide on the beach opposite the ramp and time it so you start fishing as the tide comes inKimtown wrote:Wait what?

Should get a good day in friday fishing.
Saturday is going to be sloppy and Sunday is going to be abysmal.
Thank God it's a westerly. Hopefully the Prom takes the full brunt of it and the chop isn't too bad.
We are leaving early Friday morning, might be a case of just going the one night and coming back early Saturday...frozenpod wrote:Not as much shelter as you would think.Kimtown wrote:https://www.fishranger.com.au/forecast/ ... t%20Island

From memory the forecast for Saturday was 8-10knts and it ended up being 15-20knts.
Saturday the 10th the forecast was even worse. Forecast 5-8knts ended up at 27knts with gusts up to 40knts.
