spit bridge land based fishing

[faker]

Hi guys I was thinking of fishing on land based from northern side of spit bridge in the reserve. Anyone know if there are any amenities there and what species i can be expecting there?

I don't believe there are amenities on the northern side, southern side has a toilet block about 200m away from the bridge.

Regarding species, pretty much anything is the answer... the water gets very deep very quick around there so you get plenty of pelagics (kingies, salmon, bonito etc) coming through, resident sharks, jewies, and of course your regular bream, flatties, whiting.

Im a lure guy, but If I'm ever fishing here I'd focus on light gear, but also have a larger rod ready with a metal, in case you see bust ups.

@Obsessed Fisherman fishes here regularly so might be able to provide more insight.

Edit... if your using bait, try squid strips, the fresher the better. I've got some decent bream around here on squid in the past.

Heaps of options there.

You can walk the sand flat at Clontarf and then walk further along the drop off. Then there is also the spit reserve to walk and cast from. Like @R E G I C Y C L EI only use lures and have had a fair few good sessions there.

You can catch anything there but it’s more fun on light gear

Servo bait will catch some fish, but if you can catch/buy fresh bait the results will show.
