nice one 8) must get down haven't got any coalies yet. :(

the bigger ones were right in close 30 feet out same with the flounder i was sorry i didnt bring a lighter rod ie. pike rod as they do give a good old scrap!!

found the same yesterday with lug fished it for about 3 hours and nothing, switched to rag and got schoolie after schoolie after schoolie :shock: where all the flats flounder, nice to hear if you got any dab i've noticed a serious decline in there numbers around here i think we all forget there slow growing too.

i think one small one was a dab

Fished that area last week for a while, lost a fair bit of gear am I casting too far?? Still managed a good few fish with some nice coalies

losing a bit of gear is normal ,along with rocks,kelp and crabs their are areas that have wire cages filled with rocks about 40-50 yards out they used to protect the railway line and got washed out in a storm years ago so if you set up and start losing gear move :!: just on the greystones side of the stream can be bad it all depends how much sand is washed over the cages a fast reel can help and i always use a gripper to keep my gear from finding snags the tides can be strong in this area

Thanks Roger, sounds about right. It seems one of the best spots on the E coast at the moment.

not bad roger...couldnt take your call that night...was at dinner with a young one.....trying to get a bite myself!!! 8) 8)

good fishing roger had some coalies on the north beach myself last weekend, was there much floating weed around on the south beach?

very little weed thank god :)

Fished it Myself lastnite..loads of coalies , 2 codling. The coalies took Lug and mussel ..totally ignored the peeler on the bottom hook !! :shock:
