chuckemback 0 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Any wind from the west works best of the screwpile.Im not a local but fished there years ago.Have never tried the breakwater ! not keen on rocking it there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twinpower 151 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 hey mate cheers were those caught off the breakwater day or night mate cheers Tp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuckemback 0 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 if you went during tuesday, i woulda thought that it be a north east wind the way the high was positioned and the isobars showing direction try going after or during a cold front comes through usually west then.

chuckemback 0 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Twinpower it has been westerlies now for 2 days and there is quite a few more in the upcoming days .these are the winds u need for the screwpile.Alot of the wind from the west is blocked by the island , so you need to be there when winds are quite strong.Allot of the country jetties face to the East ,giles, stenhouse,woolbay,edithburg,kingscote, and the screwpile .
