Try the Shoal Bay side of Lee Point on a spring low, there are some small ledges where big fish patrol at dawn/dusk.

Where's Aaron? He is the Lee Point man.

Spring lows at dawn Matt?? Big springs -at dawn (high) are the go there- higher the better.

Hi Seano, nothing to do with this thread, but mate you've got to get that franger fish bowl off your head before you give yourself an hypoxic brain injury! :lol:

High tide early morning is good for fishing off the shore from the wharf right around to lee point.

Check it out on a low Seano, I had a couple of good sessions there on skinnies & trevs.

Dunno how low it was, but I could walk out to edges. Was quite some time ago ...

Must be relativly neap tides as Seano is right about all big springs having a high tide in the morning. Its only dead neaps that have lows in the morning or very early building tides.

about a 2.5m 3am to 4am, springish - spreap? fishing before sun-up, or late arvo, fishing the incoming tide.

Yep seen heaps of fish feeding at lee point on the spring lows around 2-4pm in the Arvo
Have caught them from the boat with lures, could cast to the rocks on the shore though, I reckon it was on 2-3m lows on the building tides, just after the biggest springs,
Trevally, Queenies and a few small Mack's, spotty's and even some spaniards. Done it e few times on the way back from the Blue holes.
Waiting to get enough water to get into Buff Ck
