Low tide lock in at shoal bay

Hi Guys
I've been reading posts on here for a while now and found some great information. So thought it was about time I joined and got more involved.
I recently went for my first trip out to shoal bay for a low tide lock in at king creek mouth. Started the morning with a hour or so trolling big lures at the mouth with a few other boats doing the same. About 20 mins in sure enough the boat next to us hooked up just as they were passing.... typically..... 93 I thing the lads said it went. Unfortunately after that the tide disappeared so did any fish. We walked and flick the banks and had a few lives out for nothing. A long wait for the tide to come back with only a few crabs for a feed.
I was wondering if any of you veterans could point me in the right direction for other areas to lock in maybe somewhere that holds a bit more water??? I dont expect anybody's go to spots just looking for an area where you could maybe move around in the boat a little more or even an area we could walk between some good holding holes???
I'm thinking of heading out this weekend after the neaps. The water should be as bit clearer then...
Thanks in advance for any information
