Big Tides, what to chase

Post by Edo »

Fishos,
With the big tides next week, am i better off chasing barra in the harbour drains or going blue water and trying for some Macs or reefies?.
Was lookin at going out on wednesday.

Good tides for the harbour, but if the wind is down Dunde will be the only place you will get a sinker to the bottom. I'd do the harbour throwing small softies around. White, green or gold.

We pick up our new (secondhand but new to us) boat on Tuesday and were thinking of heading out on Wednesday also. It would be handy to have another boat around on our maiden voyage if you wanted to plan something EDO?
A bad day on the water beats a good day at work.... Anytime!

Also have a look around the rock wall rips for trevs and skinnies on the incoming tide. High tide at night around the rock walls under the lights can produce fish too.
