Bay view park

[Aussie_fisher]

Hey raiders went to bay view park today on the rising tide. Walked from the wharf towards exile bay up to the canal and back a few times just casting along. A few bites and managed to get 2 tiny flatties 34 and 29cm. Have been fishing at bay view a few times with bait and caught a lot of tiny bream in the past but today came with soft plastics and a bit disappointed. Lost quite a few of my zman grubs and squidgies to toadies nibbling them away as well.

That's not a bad outcome...it could've been a donut!

That area of Hen and Chicken bay can be quite consistent in the warmer months. Stick at it and you'll hopefully find the same.

If only 2, it’s good to get the casting practice. Have you tried the 1/2 run up tide ?

@Little_Flattyye I actually decided to try soft plastics there based off reports made on fishraider - a few by you actually. The whole area does look like it holds good fish so I’m not giving up on it yet. @Pickleswhats the 1/2 run up tide?

Half run up tide means the tide is rising from 1/2 full to full tide (top of the tide).

Theory being as the tide rises it is covering more of the sand / ground and exposing for food source - worms, shell fish, small fish move up to feed and Flatties follow them.

Ye that’s when I fished. I started fishing around 2 hours before full high tide and then finished an hour after it.
