Hi folks,
Is it worth fishing land based at Campbells Cove or is it just to shallow? I'm thinking a 12ft surf road with a Happy Gilmore cast. I'm not too keen to wade out.
Thanks,
Dave

Re: Campbells Cove
Mostly very shallow there. I go there on a kayak quite often and it's a good paddle before it reaches to 2-3m.intercooledpc2 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 31, 2022 11:48 amHi folks,

Within casting distance be like 0.5-1m, depends on tide.
I heard there's good landbased spot there (turn right instead of left) and rocks. Not sure where that is though, and not sure how deep.
Wyndham rockwall is probably better for landbased. Mouth of Werribee river too, saw people caught good flatties there.

Re: Campbells Cove
Thanks for the advice Sebb. I'm thinking to soak some baits after work this afternoon, I might head to the Wyndham rock wall in that case. Hopefully not too much weed following the recent rain.

Re: Campbells Cove
East wind and rain the past few days, I reckon be a bit dirty.intercooledpc2 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 31, 2022 2:50 pmThanks for the advice Sebb.

I caught a snapper in that condition though. Just hard to fish, gotta check the bait often, etc.
Good luck!

Re: Campbells Cove
It's a pity you won't wade out because at low tide you can walk right out to where it starts to drop off, a good place to cast plastics for flathead. The spot to the right is at the end of the track, park your car and walk along the track till you come to the water, probably 300mtrs walk. It's only a coulpe of meters deep but you can see the brocken ground and weed patches within casting distance, great spot for KGW and Gummies
