According to a few fishery websites, the east coast fishes better during / after easterlies. From my own experience I find the southerlies fish best while still producing a good surf......

Alright leadhead,
Yeah, still no joy over here so a change of coast is on the cards alright. However if I remember correctly, the last time we did some serious fishing down west it was me who showed you how it was done
