think you can - on big tides you might get something in there

fishing around the mouth on the outgoing might be better

i used to walk there often and the locals were often fishing it for small stuff

they also liked lighting fires on the timber boardwalk :roll:

Wasting yr time in there mate I sometimes used to get bait there. But even that is scarce nowadays.

Might be a few u/size jacks and bream in there but no way I'd eat anything out of that water. .....Yuck .

Better spots around that area include the rocks to the left of the ski club or creeks either end of mindil. Or off the breakwall around Cullen bay.

Just had a fish kill in there as well. Like Matt said, better having a go at the mouth, some nice fish caught there at times.

went for a look this morning and was pretty void. a few small tarpon rolling and a few schools of baitable mullet in there. not much else going on though. went for a look at the mouth and looks like it would be a good spot after a big rain on a high tide with all the bait runnin out. probably better spots i could spent my time :rofl:

I drove past near the top of a spring high tide a few weeks ago and saw quite a well known scooter based fella fishing there.....

I have fished there personally, lots of small barra and jacks, although recently as Melv said there was a fish kill, and saw a nice size barra doing the backstroke. Also NT Wombat, so Hiro was fishing there? Though he might be there judging from onr of his previous blog videos.
