Land based Fish Seaway Wall

[Dominator]

Hi all, i am planning on taking my nephew for a session down the coast next Tuesday night and was wondering if anyone has fished around the seaway wall near the spit lately.

If so whats biting and on what bait etc.

Also if you can think of any other options???

Cheers, ;)

depending how old your nephew is, it might be a bit dangerous for young kids on the wall, when you get to the carpark at the seaway follow the road around to the left and the rock wall ends and becomes sand.
Might be worth paying the small fee and fishing off the sand pumping jetty itself, pretty well lit up at night and they do get some good fish at times.
If you do decide on fishing the wall, use the longest rods you have and try get there for the high tide, low tide rocks are slippery as and you do really need a longer rod to try keeping from snagging up.Either that or retrieve in really really quickly.
Other than that not much I can tell you as Im usually floating around in the boat.;)

Hi Ashh,

Thanks for the reply mate.

He is 14 and probably has better balance han i do. ;D

Thanks for the tips on the long rods too, that can be very annoying when all you do all night is try to get un-snagged.

I thought about the sand pumping jetty as an option. I might have a look there and see how busy it is on the night.

Cheers,

Dom.

Hey Dom I was there on sunday morning, I caught a spotty mackerel on a 20g raider slug. I was only using a 7 foot rod and it was very dificult to land in during the day. Also try to get a long landing net, I made one out of an old pool pole which is about 2.5m long but can open up to 4m but of course I left it at home ;)

Cheers, Mick.

Good to see you scored, Mick :) ~ was that pretty much it, or did you have a go chucking some SP's in there for anything else (Bream, etc).

Bet that would have been fun landing a spotty Mackarel with a 7ft toothpick on the rocks ;)

As I said via PM, I couldn't make it, would have loved to join U there, but 1. something came up, and 2. got a decent feed out on the tallebudgera river breakwall with live yabbies, scored a couple of excellent luderick, a just-legal Bream, a monster whiting (well, about 35cm, I rarely get them anywhere near that size), and a couple of real good dart, 30cm+

A couple of other guys were there since like 5am'ish and scored a number of tailor on pillies, with a couple of 40cm specimens landed.
