RexSenior Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hi Dave I've been fishing the area a lot recently, just land based. I mainly fish with live beach worms, unfortunately having to go down the Central Coast to catch them at the moment. Salts Bay is fishing great and is a top spot for the kids & swimming also. Been plenty of whiting & bream, if you can fish the rising tide early evening anywhere in between the 1st & 3rd breakwalls you should do well. Blacksmiths Beach has also been great over the past couple of months, if you try there head towards the back of Belmont Golf Club for some big whiting. The weed has been a pain though. All the best! Cheers, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
