Thanks in advance gazza

Hey Gazza, Mate SP rod would be great but if you have access to a surf rod take it as you will need to spin metal lures over the wrecks in the morning and later during the day. You'll get small Mackeral and Tuna on the wrecks in the morning.

Take your snorkling gear as well as it's a beutiful place to look at scenery and the oceans depths. I snorkled there with aunty and saw Wobbegong Sharks, Cod, GT's up to around 1metre were cruising and I saw a ganged Pilchard getting smashed infront of me by a Tailor. I would take the surf rod, and SP combo. Take a cast net aswell if you own one as there are some bait in there and throw one out in search of something to smash it such as Flathead, Cod and even small Macks.

Overall make sure you have a great time!!! Don't go swimming during the night aswell. There are also activities such as feeding the Dolphins, Looking around the old Whaling Station! My favourite thing there was the Whaling Station as it's a great place to look at. Make sure you do those two things.

Cheers Tom and tell me how you go.

definetly take a soft plastic outfit for bream and trevally off the jetty but 1 problem is the pike are in plagued proportions. i know it is not quite the season but you may still be able to pick up the big longtailed tuna that swim in after the biddies and other baitfish. if you go up the beach there is great flathead, whtiing, bream and shovelnose sharks to be caught all great fun but you must be prepared when fishing off the tangalooma jetty there is about 500 different species that hang around there. i walked out after hopping off the boat and there was free swimming gt's about 60cm bream about 40cm etc. goodluck and don't be afraid to use snapbacks the helps replacing the plasctics every cast.

regards,
keechie

Fish for flathead near the sticks, just around the corner on the way to yellow patch, yo'ull hitch a ride, elbow snapper whiting on the Eastern beach towards the lighthouse end or if you don't wanna take the surf rod jst fish for whiting in the nearby gutters, I have often outfished the bunch of mate with their flash surf rods just by fishing the gutters, if you can get a lift to North Point plenty of Bream of the rocks, don this B4 September as a lot of these areas if the EPA get their way will be no take green zones, I am assuming you will not have a vehicle, if you do have a 4wD go for the areas I have mentioned, Coffee rocks near Yellow patch can also get you a feed
