Fishing Gunna/Rye back beach in anything other than N/NE?

[henryalasdair225]

Hi guys,
Is is even worth venturing out there is the winds are anything other than North/ North East prevailing? I am thinking of heading down Saturday with South west winds for a dawn fish...am I wasting my time entirely?

Has anyone caught on these beaches when the wind is other than N/NE?

Thanks folks,

Don't bother Saturday mate. Sunday arvo is a possibility at this stage, but onlyba possibility, see how long it takes for the swell to die down..
You can fish in other wind directions, if it's under 6 knots or thereabouts.

Thanks for this reply! How about Sunday dawn? does this look good?
Cheers,

if you want to go this weekend sunday at dusk looks like it's the only time worth going but it's still a bit far off to know for sure

As above, don't bother Saturday, swell will be huge.
It's still likely to be overhead surf on Sunday too.
