    you should have no dramas..have a good look in daylight and suss out lagoon...there is one shallow spot halfway from launch area to where you turn to head out..run a track on gps and follow in if coming or leaving in dark...get your launch retrieve downpat an be quik as you can..as I said closer to rocks in southern corner is best..cheers rick

    you can pin them thru lips  go from underneath up and out nose  they will then swim nicely in the smallest amount of current...if no current and using large sinker pin them between anal fin and tail then they swim up from bottom..rick

    if you look in from underneath in the gill opening ou will see a large bulb of bone at base of spine where it joins head..slice it open carefully and you will find the otoliths or jewels in there..rick

    wow  big question..beach ?  rock ?  estuary ?   more info would help us give you more info...I spent a lot of years fishing the breakwall at Stockton Newcastle..i caught jew on most moon phases tide being more important..that said  we caught more fish on quarter moon than full as the tides are smaller and less flow..the myth of full moon is bulls@#t as I caught bugger all on the full..four days before  four days after and mostly every night in between if you spend the time..an hour before dark till three after or same in morning..change of tide coinciding with dark is best...saying that I have caught 20kg jew in middle of afternoon while setting up and minding spot for evening..we used to fish livies exclusively..now we use whole dead squid and get more bites and better hookup ratios...this is for estuary breakwall..it might not be same for your choice of venue..but the basics are same....tackle is dependant on location..we use 50lb overheads and 6or 8oz leads..7/0 or 8/0 hooks 80lb trace...different sites different tackle...give more info to the other FR readers and im sure there will be more info forthcoming..hopefully my comments or others will help...rick

    all this can change depending on what beach you are going to fish...some beaches are long and open to swell..some are shorter..some may face north.east.south..leaving them to completely different conditions on any given day...check weather..wind..swell then choose appropriate destination...rick
