Windang

[vipernut]

Went down to windang this morning with my 11yr old son in tow,Arrived just after 6am.I have not fished this area for several years and with my son with me didnt want to venture onto the breakwall.

Decided to walk the flats between the bridge and the the channel entrance.My boy was using some frozen prawns left over from a previous outing(Ill remember the yabby pump next time),while i tried several different soft plastics.

Despite all efforts though couldnt manage a thing.I had one bump and a few follows from some small whiting but couldnt hook anything.Saw a couple of fish power thru one of the small channels(appeared to be reasonable bream)with the majority of their fins sticking out of the water as it was only shallow.

Also saw a few splashes and showers of small bait fish,tried several plastics and even my stiffy popper but nothing.

Can someone recommend a spot in the Windang area that is child friendly and produces fish.

P.s I did however register in the competition being run in the lake for the $5000 bream,there is also 4 tagged flathead worth $500each.The competion goes till the end of february so looks like i will be fishing down there a bit more,but i think the boat might be the better option.

unlucky on the doughnut there mate, ive heard of people having good results off the bridge there in the background but i dont think you can fish of it legally.

yeh i've fished off the bridge at night which is good. However i can recommend you using live bloodworms and walk down past that bridge towards the lake side. There should be this small beach there just past this single house. Its a short stretch but if u cast out towards channel with live bloodworm u'll hit a couple of decent whitings. BUt remember bring big sinkers, cuz the current there is very strong when the tide is running. Just in case though.

gday mate, just wondering if it was too late to register for the competition you mentioned? And if not, where can i register?

cheers.

that breakwall is very safe at all times. I have fished it since it was built and results have been great. Fish it on a high tide. almost at the top you will pick up heaps of salmon, bream, whiting etc. the wall fishes best on the southern side i have found. Be prepared to loose a bit of gear to sharks and rays though.. there are heaps of big ones around there.
