Target species

Yellowfin Bream (Acanthopagrus australis). Try worms on a light running sinker rig for a natural drift. Prawns are another option when the water is moving.

Mulloway (Argyrosomus japonicus). Fresh squid makes a tough bait. A running sinker can let it move naturally with the current instead of holding it rigidly in place.

Dusky Flathead (Platycephalus fuscus). Work a paddle-tail soft plastic along sandy bottom. Small hops and pauses help you cover ground without racing past fish.

How to fish it

Match the weight of your rig to the water in front of you. Start with enough control to present your bait or lure, then adjust when the tide changes. Watch where your line settles and leave space for other anglers to work their tackle.

Leave room for people walking along the pier and check behind you before casting. Plan how you will land a fish without climbing over the rail.
