Fishing the eastern entrance

I have been checking out some possible gummy shark haunts and was wondering if anyone has given the eastern entrance a lash?? I have noticed it has quiet a few steep drop offs into deeper water but I also know the tide hammers through this area like there’s no tomorrow so might make it hard work.. be keen to know if anyone else has tried this area with any success. Cheers :cheers:

There's better gummy spots imo but I have caught a few 5 kilo + around #3 green marker. Banjo city though lol.

Tide is fine, I’d anchor the yak off red point quite often with no issues.

Near the big sandbar at low tide at night time has produced for me in the past. Bit dicey if you dont know the area well though..
Salmon fillets did the trick for me

I think the draughtboard sharks would be plentiful as well now with the cooler water

Id go outside of the entrance when conditions allow set up a drift around the craypots. Just make sure your not too close.

So that's what they call them lol

I always just called them either cat/dog/staffy/carpet/swell sharks lol basically everything but what they are actually called.

Yeah they are everywhere too. ******* disgusting things they are.

The biggest problem fishing the eastern entrance is not the fact it doesn't hold fish but the amount of boat traffic throughout a lot of reasonable days.
