Ocean Addiction Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 This time of year you will find a huge number of boats anchored around the mouth of the basin or hovering around the artificial reefs. My advice would be to take the opportunity to explore other locations. Try drifting the flats casting surface lures for bream and whiting. There are a stack of productive flats <1.5m deep so choose whatever works with the prevailing wind. Otherwise use your sounder to locate bait schools and fish deeper with plastics or blades (or baits). If you're keen on using bait go for a prawn on a light gauge hook. I find a red lumo bead can improve your numbers slightly. Hope this helps and good luck out there! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
