Thanks for the replies everyone. Looks like I will be better off fishing the Manning point flats based on what you have all said.So thats what I will do. Thanks again.

Are there any Taree or Old Bar locals that could tell me what the state of the Old Bar entrance is and how the lagoon is fishing? I am heading up on Monday for a few days on the flats. Thanks

Thanks Mick. Looks like my best option will be to stay at Croki. That way I will be able to run down to Harrington/Manning Point and fish the flats down there or take the other arm down to Farquhar if things improve in the meantime. I'm disappointed to hear the sand has built up to that extent as I'd have to say that area is my all time favourite spot for sand flat fishing when the entrance is open and running free. It was magic being able to motor over to the entrance and fish it or walk over to the beach and pull a few worms then follow the tide up the estuary chasing those big lizards.

It's about that time of year when I'm constantly thinking about some sand flats fishing up at Old Bar. Would appreciate a note from Mick or some of the other locals as to the condition of the entrance.Is it open? How are the flats around Farquhar fishing? I also heard on the grapevine that the government had handed Farquhar Park camping ground back to the local tribe.Can I still pitch a tent out there? I mostly fish catch and release and only keep a smaller Flatty or two for dinner. Its more about the magic of the flats out there for me. Ive missed going up the last 2 years so I'm pretty keen to get up there this year. Thanks in advance for any info.
