in saying what i said, head inland, not to the mouth. massive deep holes that hold fish at all tide levels. if you go deep enough you will come across a dam wall.also try middle beach. Council just installed a state of the art boat ramp at a coast of $200k - funded by the Feds. your car will be safe as this is an actually township. head out the mouth and go north (right) and you will come across another channel, this is where the big whiting live... enjoy..
