Hi Tex
There is small peirs/jettys at a few locations heading from launceston to the heads of the river. The species than can be encounted are snapper, silver trevally, snotty trevala, couta, aussie salmon, flathead, yellow tail kingfish, cod etc. The prefered bait for all species is a natural bait. You can buy small packets of pilchards, squid, whitebait at most coastal service stations and tackle shops, yhese baits would be a good starting point for wetting a line. Then ask the question of any fisho you see wetting a line as we are a friendly bunch in tassie.
If you head up to Circular Head (far nor west), drop me a pm I will see if I can catch up to show you our local spots
Enjoy your time in tassie
cheers
