What You Can Catch
How to Fish Each Species Here
Jetty pylons provide shade and harbour food - barnacles, crabs, and small organisms that bream pick at constantly. Winter cooling concentrates fish around structure.
The sand/weed interface creates classic ambush terrain. Flathead lie on sand at the weed edge waiting for baitfish to emerge from the seagrass.
Rising water floods the seagrass flats, pushing food organisms (worms, yabbies) out of the sand. Whiting follow the tide onto the shallows to feed.
Leatherjackets are curious structure dwellers that follow bream around pylons and weed beds. Where you find bream, leatherjackets will be nearby.
