G'day

How are ya? Haven't done too much beach fishing lately so can't report on which beaches are firing at the moment.

But biggest question would be what are you targeting? As that will determine best bait or rig to use.

Also have you had any experience in reading the beach?

Get back to me and I'll try to put you in the right direction.

thanks for the reply

wed probably be targeting tailor, salmon bream and maybe flathead. if you think we could get other species easier we would probably set a few rods up with diff rigs?

thanks

G'day

If you're going for tailor, then you can also try spinning whole pilchards on gang hooks or metal slices. I've found using 'bait mate' an elastic thread you can get from tackle shops helps hold the pillies together.

I usually use 2/0-4/0 gang hooks on 20lb line, but be prepared to loose a few hooks if the tailor are on.

Try to find a spot on the beach where there's a good gutter, there should be able to see this by the wave action. The waves start to reform over the deeper water so there will be less white water

Hope this helps
