Hello People,
I was down at East arm's ramp today, I thought I would give it a go, before I had to get my boy. I was useing plastics got a "stick Fish"

, then I tryed a i think they are called spinner's, it is a metal with shimmer on the top. There were a lot of shrimp, and they were getting stired up from both fish and bird, the fish I saw were what looked like "Carp". Any one know what it was, seemed to be a school fish.

Any how the only thing I got was a baby fish

so all in all it was a good cast day.

If any one could tell me what is best used down there and what to expect, please help.
Tanks People.

You'll catch queenfish on that metal spinner Kell, but you might need to go to the tackle shop and get a couple of proper barra lures that can be worked a little more slowly if you want to catch other fish like barra, salmon and cod.

That carp-looking thing might have been a mullet or barra - they both have big scales and in the water might look like a carp.

Barra are a bit like carp up here - they breed like rabbits, they are everywhere and easy to catch (for some of us) ... lucky they are good to eat!

Try fishing with bait Kell.

Matt. Barra like Carp. Too right, They are always getting in the way when you are targeting the king of the sea, the majestic powertail.

I wish Barra were like carp. I've got plenty of worms in my garden
