Combined with this low presure and the feeback i have received I would be reconsidering the journey mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookerbruce Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hi I'm heading to South West Rocks for easter and made the decision not to take the boat, so the bar should be flat as. Up there the week before last and there were a lot of blackies moving along the breakwall so even with the current flood conditions they should move into the river with the run in tide near the mouth. Likewise the bream fishing should be ok. Also try the mouth of the creek for blackies on the run in tide. The other place worth a try in the flood conditions is the northern end of Smokey Cape Beach for bream, whiting and flathead which accumulate after being flushed out of the river and creek. Big problem will be if the council open the flood gates on the lower Maclaey. This will release toxic water into the river, a mixture from acid sulphate soil and the decomposing organic matter thats been rotting above the flood gates consuming all the oxygen. There have been some huge fishkills in the river in some floods. One time the water was so bad it killed everything including the weed beds and after about 8 years these are just growing back in many places. Lets hope the weather backs of and lets us fish.
