Stu, Blakes is the beach in Strand just left of the Pavilion. I go there as there are some kob and geelbek that came through in the summer months and was hoping for winter kob to make an appearance but nothing so far.
Of the reefs there are good catches of kob and stump nose and spotties... I'll take a page from Hannes's book and start throwing live mullet there...
The short answer, it's close and convenient and relatively save for fisherman and vehicle.
