Also would you recommend wearing shoes or is going barefeet alright there?croe04 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 3:19 pmI don't know actually. I'd stick to low tide because it's usually the best time to target flathead and when I have my best sessions targeting them LB.fortula999 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 3:10 pmCheers, thanks for the advicecroe04 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 3:06 pmThe depth of the water depends on the tide but is usually ankle-shin deep at the tide change, would be knee-deep at most. Double ziplock-bagging your phone and wallet will probably suffice because if you slip it wont be submerged for long.fortula999 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 2:57 pmSo just Wade until you're around shin deep and cast towards the dropoff? How deep is the water just before the dropoff?
Also how would you suggest I protect my phone and wallet in case I trip and full over ?
How deep do you reckon it is at high tide?

Re: Wading beaches for flathead?
Start of the run in tide is good. I like GULPs but I honestly dont' think it really matters. If you can get out there at first light and fish until you can see the sun in the sky you should do well.
