[Brighton/Ramsgate Land-Based fishing]

Hey Dragonfish,

I was down on Lady Robinson Beach (That's what the beach is called)on Easter Sunday morning. Got there about 8am and parked in the car park opposite Scarborough St. Walked over the the rock wall there and started throwing an imitation bloodworm in orange. At the time, there was next to no breeze. I only clambered along the wall until I got about 5 metres behind the shore break. The south side of the rock wall was not producing, so I turned around and started casting over thowards the baths. The first two flatties were about 25 and 30 cm. The third and last one came in at 45cm. All in 20 minutes, so not too tacky. After that a nor'easter picked up and the bite shut down. That was my first time down there, as well. But it won't be my last.

Nice one GreyNurse! You have inspired me to get back down there. Have been stuck at home working in the backyard.... but with the project now done - it's time to fish! I am more than just a little worried though about the impact of last week's rains on the bite of the fish....

Will have to try for Flatties then! So far have used prawns for Bream without much luck (best was 26cm), and tried worms for whiting. One would think with a sandy beach down there the whiting would bite - but it seems to be a little weedy.

Also heard some reports (or maybe I read it somewhere) that tailor will take on a speedy metal lure retrieve. But am thinking that's more an option for the boat-based angler down that way.

Hi all - recently started to get serious about my fishing (Learner). As yet - no boat. One of my local spots, is the Western side of Botany Bay - the beach stretching from Brighton, down to Dolls Point.

Can anyone please advise if they have caught any decent fish from the shore here? If so, what was your preferred method (lure or bait)? And is there a specific spot I should try?

Thanks
