Light Tackle:
In the Lagoon - Grunter, rock salmon, kob.
Bait: Mud prawn, sardine, live glassies.
At the mouth and point - Shad, kob, stumpie, bronze bream etc. Popular with fly and dropshot guys! There are quite a few Kob around there now in the 2/3 Kg range.
South from there are many rock points and gullies all very fishable, the most famous of them being Shark Point (4x4 or else quite a walk along the trail). Midway between the mouth and Shark Point is a spot called Cotton Rocks (or various other names like Cortis Rocks) but there is a bronze plaque cemented onto the rock formation. If you find that then youv'e got the spot. This has good deep water in front and two deep gullies on either side..plenty of BIG crayfish. Expect to catch anything here on light and heavy. Good sliding spot with big bait for Shark, and excellent spot for big Kob in June/July - use Chokka/ Bonnie Fillet/ live and dead Mullet. (Get live mullet in the lagoon before you go)
Shark point has everything for light and heavy. Shad,bronze bream, garrick, Big and small shark, big and small kob.
For first timer, I definitely suggest get a gilly or two on the first day and use him/them for the whole stay. The 13/14 yr old ones there are really clued up and helpful, and can carry heavy loads for long distances too, as small as they are! Look for a guy called Strong, use him and his brother. Try and not be swamped by these guys....be firm but fair!
Good luck
