G'day Keechie,

About half tide on the drop to the norht on Flinders beach, look for shallowish run out gutters 1.5-2 mts deep, you'll pick them as they will be a deeper green, cast to the other side of the run out and bounce your plastic across the run out - you're sure to nail a big lizard

Hope you get among them

cheers

They catch some nice tailor off adder rock at times. I would try fishing off the rocks infront of the surf club at point lookout that over looks main beach. They catch monster bream there on plastics. If your willing for a walk take the track that goes around the headland at the top of point look and goes around to surf club and try rock fishing in the gorge there.
Its really deep and protected from the wind. Only go there in calm conditions though as it can be dangerous, but the rewards are worth it catching monster kingfish and mackeral.

hope this has helped

Keechie,

Take no notice mate about the above dig at Nudgee beach and 10 cm whiting, if it even was a dig!

I have been fishing that area for over 20 years, the fishing there if you know where to go and what to use is second to none..

I have caught,

Summer whiting, biggest 57 cm..mouth of jacksons creek.

Bream, biggest 54 cm..schulz canal, drain on right opposite hovercraft ramp..

Flathead, biggest 82 cm...flats at mouth of schulz canal..

And the list goes on..

I don't and havn't fished the area for many years now, as I am into the offshore scene these days but am sure these monsters would still be there if you put in the time and effort mate which I am sure at your age you have plenty of..

Ok, back to topic Adder rock at straddie, good for tailor, bream,tarwhine, dart and the occasional flathead..

I know you love your plastics but if you don't mind being versatile get yourself some raiders, maniacs or any other chrome slug with action and spin these at high speed from the rocks...big tailor can't resist and heaps of fun on light gear!

Also mate, with regards to the rock fishing make sure you take extreme care and keep your wits about you..it also might pay to have an adult there to supervise and keep watch that you and your mates don't put yourself into a dangerous situation...rockfishing is unforgiving..

Also a tip for you which was passed onto me by my grandfather, in the unfortunate circumstance you end up in the drink...don't swim back to the rocks, swim away and around back to the beach...most damage is done because people panic and try and get back up to where they came from, big no no..

Enjoy your trip to straddie mate, have a good look around over there the fishing oppurtunities are endless..

WOW!!! thats a ripper bream and a massive whiting its good to hear that there is still great fish to be caught. regards to using metal lures i packed in a few slugs that were 15, 30 and 40g slugs and some big poppers to throw around. i have been reading lots on info on rock fishing over the last few weeks and my plan is to watch the waves for about 10 minutes then venture down slowly and find a steady platform and use that as a base that is about 10m out of reach of the water and to only fish the rocks on the run out tide. if i do go in (touchwood) i will swim out and around to the nearby beach thats located next to the rocks. thanks for the advice and goodluck to you in the future.

Never fished adder rock but have done very well up at the rocks in front of the surf club. Using squidgy wriggles I have nailed a few bream over the 1kg mark. I have also done ok around the base of the southern gorge on live bait but have lost most of the good fish i have hooked (most likely big kingies, I've only landed the small models). If you plan on fishing the rocks be very careful you should watch the water for at a good while (more like 30 minutes rather then 10 minutes). Anyways have fun

Cheers Chris

if you have to try the gorge, good day only and be extremely careful, off the surf club is a better option, good luck
