Robe Trip

[ShimsMan 1]

Hey boys and girls,Have been invited on a trip to Robe with the family in a week or two and have no idea where and what to fish for. There's the bight, the breakwater, northmost rocks and southern beaches; do any of these produce good fish this time of year? might be able to pack the surf rod but more likely will have the lighter 2 piece rods due to space issues (travelling there in a hatchback!)Besides the salmon, is there anything firing there for LB anglers this time of the year?

Beachport jetty has had Whiting and Tommies, not in massive numbers but enough to keep you interested.

Thanks crusher, that's a good start: gonna make a map of the area and possible catches to bring on the trip i reckon.Would be good to take a break from my mostly bread and butter fishing and go for some salmon, flatties etc etc, so i'm leaning toward doing a bit of rock fishing as well.

Seach google and go to Beachport, look around the coast for a palce called Pool of Siloam, you will see a reef in the water (obviously). This is Salmon Beach. You can use a 7 foot rod here and cast lures.Be very very careful fishing rocks in the SE, In my opinion it is very different to rocks around metro through to Victor. Enjoy and tight lines.

Looks pretty good there, easy access to the rocks too. I think i might have to make some metal cleats for my old runners to do some rockhopping; looks pretty precarious out there, would bet there's a few savage rips out there too....

Very cool! a bit out of my price range for an occasional rock fisher though. i have access to a metal shop so it should be pretty easy to cobble something together in an hour or two.
