Mate you can give the rosebay sand flats a try. Make sure when you are wadding through the water you watch for stingrays.

Ok thanks for the heads up might give that a go was thinking central coast or entrance but rose bay is alot closer

[Ryder]

Even closer, try Brays Bay at Rhodes.

Virtually snag free, and no need to get your feet wet.

Walk the wall from the restaurant north towards the mangroves.

Thanks might give that a go I bought blood worm looking ones and nuclear chicken ones sorry only new with plastics

You need sand flats and weed/structure. They need somewhere to strike from. Also help if there is a current hitting a ledge or a trench near a flat.

Ok good to no just gota find these spots might try where I've been told unless I decide to drive to the entrances cause there plenty of sand banks and current around there

I also go satay chicken, and get some strike trigger. They sell S factor separate now.

Put a good squirt in the belly gap , or just smear them.

If you're not fussed about eating the fish, there are plenty of spots west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge where you can easily get flatties on plastics. I'd be really happy to help out if you'd like a hand trying to get one. Sen d me a PM.

The entrance is good. Hawkesbury is closer to you and arguably a better spot.

Hey mate entrance is a great spot and lately been firing. If yiu come up this way let me know ill be happy to tee up a sesh to try help out.

Also i strongly advise buying some Zman grubs in 2.5" they are killer

They are just a quality reliable plastic. Havent ever had any by catch as bream when using them so hopefully this weekend when i hit the leases they may pull their weight. Fingers crossed lol

Id put my money with Ryder. Head to brays bay, no snags, easy to fish and you stay dry. great spot to practice and there are always fish around. Fish the falling tide (thats an uneducated observation by me though...). The only problem is you cant eat them...

Cheers
