For poddies, try in the creek on the right when heading downstream on the ocean side of the bridge. Just pull up on the bank behind the trawlers and set your trap. You should have plenty in 5 or 10 mins. I generally just drift the channel for lizards.

Also try around artificial reef, location can be found on google. That's one of the spots they got kingies and also seaside of the bridge.

if land based blacksmiths break wall is a good place to start, if you have a boat around the sand islands at pelican with blood worms you'll do well,a couple of jew spots is belmont barge and the trench
