SimJ Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Gday mate and to the site. Try the area around fig tree bridge, it holds nice whiting, bream and flatties theres also the occasional squid and poddies. Some things to look out for are snags and stupid toadfish. I like to fish to the right of the bridge and cast into the middle of the river near the sandbanks, the second half of the rising tide seems to be a good time to fish there. Bring a beach rod to go for jew and to be able to cast out far enough. Light gear works well here with heavy sinkers resulting in many snags just use enough weight to hold ground if u have to. For bait u cant go past live squid but if ur not lucky enough for the inkers to come by then live tube worms and live nippers are very effective. Good luck and remember the water in the LCR is very suss, I havent eaten anything caught from fig tree yet.
