Hey Sparky,
Another spot worth trying is off the rocks at the Northern end of Whale Beach.
If you follow the road down to Whale Beach and head past the entrance to the beach, continue straight along and follow the road around the headland (about 50m after hooking a sharp left) you'll find a small bush path in between homes which will take you to the edge of the cliff.
It's slightly hairy decent but not too bad and you once down there it's a beautiful platform for spinning metal slices, floating out a ganed pilly or even lobbing a prawn into the wash.
I've caught many a drummer down there predominantly but also some big salmon, tailor and kingies.
Good luck,
