plankton 725 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 I know the road going along the Onk is closed for work (Weatherald Terrace), but does anyone know if there is access across the footbridge? I was thinking I might be able to park on one of the streets above and take the footpath down to the bridge and do a bit of salmon fishing. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doobie 5,802 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 It's blocked at both ends now, as I found out today. (I gave Vogon a bum steer Thursday saying it was ok to get to the footbridge, but you can't - sorry Vogon). You can't park in the car park overlooking the mouth as that is all being done up. The other streets are too far away and I don't think you'd get through the barriers they put up. You could probably park Marlborough St or Truro St and take the path down to Weatherald which comes out by the toilets - not sure, but it could be a sneaky way through. Otherwise only way is parking South of the PN surf club and walking - the exercise will do you good bjorn2fish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doobie 5,802 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Was the top of Weatherald open yesterday? Plankton will be interested on how you got through Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrfish 327 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 go down Clarke street near the jetty then on to the last bit of the esplanade and fish from there down. doobie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doobie 5,802 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 I'm here now and top barriers open. So follow detour signs and you can park by footbridge. plankton and bjorn2fish 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but you have to come from the back way (as from Commercial Road to Weatherald is still blocked off). plankton 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plankton 725 Posted May 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Thanks Doobie. Did you fish Southport? Any action? doobie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, lured from Southport to the jetty and back (plus over at Maslins) and not one touch. Another couple of guys were luring around for nothing and another one using baits, and nothing either. I could see 1 guy on the jetty getting Mullet and there was a guy one on the footbridge getting a couple of Mullet & Bream. plankton and bjorn2fish 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
