Milmo 116 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I took this photo from the South Port cam. Not very good quality but just want to share the view. I never see the water that rough before. Anyone ever fishing in that condition? What can we expect...or better stay away? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trihull 177 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Snapper have been known to cruise into the shallows in really rough seas... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kelvin 2,196 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Salmon season should be starting soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tonyb 1,017 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Complete waste of time in my experience!!That is one very shallow stretch of coastline without any decent gutters most of the year and no fish would be comfortable foraging in there until the surf dropped away.Additionally, there is so much weed in these conditions it's impossible to fish :ohmy:A different story entirely as the surf drops away. Killa time to be there, although the drifting remnants of weed on a big flowing tide can be a nuisance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reelin 2 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I disagree with tony on this one, I have had my best salmon sessions along christies to southport in this type of water, snapper also get caught in these conditions. Might be a bit early for the big salmon though? Only way to find out is get down there and give it a crack! you will be surprised Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Savagelip 4 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 after watching this, west beach rocks might be worth a shot milmo, some fella pulled a monster from there a few yrs back piratepom, Just Me, Just1More and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine after it settles down the lb snapper spots will be firing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
digitalnoir 0 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Has anyone been out this morning on the Mid? Thinking of casting a few lures of southport or maslins this evening... Did the wind bring the Mullet Schools in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ausea 4 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 There is a fair bit of weed in the water for surf fishing after that blow we had.Be better of on a jetty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
