Dundee donuts!

G'day,
It's been quite a while since I did an actual fishing post so I thought it about time I did. I have been mainly fishing around the harbor this last 12 months or so and doing OK with catching fish for the table, the usual harbor mixed bag.
However the focus of this post is to share my frustration with fishing Dundee....now I know this is one of Darwin's prime fishing spots and I am well aware that many people do extremely well down there, I however am definitely not one of them.
I have only fished Dundee 3 times and each time I have pretty much drawn a zero. I have fished Bynoe with success and I always seem to do well down at the Peron Islands region....but Dundee...I just can't seem to find the fish. there is plenty of good ground, good marks etc...I go on good tides but can never seem to find bait fish shoals or any decent fish.
Last weekend we got juvenile sharks, couple of p o w e r t a i l and some small trevally....not even any cod....nothing!
So...I guess I am a bit frustrated to be honest....it is a long drive down there...cover plenty of miles on the water and just cant' seem to work that place out.
I often hear of people going wide.....just how wide is wide?
On another note....still plenty of weed down there, especially around the ramp.
