Beach fishing?

[pommy]

Greetings all!

Not after spot X or anything, but anyone interested in going for a spot of beach fishing over the next couple of weeks or even on and off on the long term?

As a Pommy I've found it hard to work out beach structure and water flow. In the UK I just used to go to the end of the longest breakwall and throw. I'm trying to get past the guessing stage in Oz.

Any fishing time is fun but if a little more knowledge could come my way as well....who knows?

Here's hoping.

Regards, Rob.

Pommy, I go up seven mile beach a bit and also south ballina beach fishing by 4wd, next time i am planning a trip i will give you a pm and let you know.
There is some great formations on south ballina beach at the moment, especialy down towards the coffee rock. Will let ya know.
I live in byron but can pick you up or meet you somewhere?

Hey lads,

I will be keen for sure, All my mates arent interested in the cold water and since my pop past on i havent had someone whos really keen to go with.

I was actually going to do this same thing in the coming weeks, i fish that area often and have a Landcruiser for the beach. I am form brisbane but i usually stay at a spot down there, so im keen.

Cheers

Dan

No worries mate, sounds like fun. Went up seven mile beach on saturday, beach was quite flat, no gutters realy, and no fish so i decided to go up south ballina on the sunday. Some great beach formations as is said in the above post, plenty of mullett in the gutters so their def will be tailor around and jewies chasing the mullett. We will have to organiise an early start or late arvo. Can even do an overnighter if keen enough.

G'day Jewienewie,

I drive a few times down to seven mile beach from Brisbane (don't have a 4WD) but like to do some beach fishing to catch some tailor and dart or nice pelagics.

I'm thinking about coming down on last day in April or after 16th May.

If you know of some good spots or team up for a day let me know. Peter

Sounds like we could all organise something, more knowledge the better.

Post poaching buggers! lol

At this rate we'll need a Bandwagon or some similar vehicle to transport us all along the beach!

Regards, Rob.

Look out South Ballina beach, keep us posted as to when people have time. I have a troopy so can fit in a few but only have two rocket launches for the rods.
