I fished Marsh, Swim and Sampan Creeks last week - there were hundreds of rat barra up at the Marsh Creek barrage, good fun on light gear. Heaps of crocs down at the Marsh mouth, but didn't see any big barra there, I don't understand why all the crocs weren't up at the barrage with all the small barra, maybe "godzilla" lives up there and has the place to himself.
Chad landed a metre fish at the Sampan mouth at the crack of dawn - we would have landed more but we went to Swim Creek for a look and it had too much fresh coming out, and by the time we got back to our spot someone else was there and landed two bigguns.
I reckon the Chambers Bay creek mouths are the place to be right now, but they only fire at certain times of the tide, plus dawn and dusk.

When I was there the water was the highest I've seen. It was flowing up over the area opposite the carpark down the road to where you normally launch a boat and it smelt bad. I'm not surprised it was quiet over Easter as when we were there Sampan only fired at dawn, and Marsh Creek barrage was the only other place with fish, and they were mostly rats.
I just looked at the rain radar and there's plenty more on the way. I don't like neap tides (this week) when fishing flooded coastal run-offs although some people do. Might be best this week to stay home, cook buffalo sausages and drink port.

I with you slapper, fished the top of tommy cut creek 5 times over the last 2weeks and have had 20-30 fish sessions every time, the lure that seemed to work best are the new riedy soft plastics in spotty perch or lime green colors. we had other boats casting close by on most trips but seemed to miss out the fish using their hard bodied lures, unfortunatly it may have been that the spot we fish has only enough room for one boat and we had it tied upCaught most of the fish at the top of Tommy cut
