Are you able to go outside or are you restricted to inside the bar? There are options in both locations. You will pick up small mackerel at times around Big Mick where Tin Can Inlet meets the Sandy Straits as well as bigger specimens in the Sandy Straits itself.

Mate.
From TCB you have several fishing and crtabbing sites to visit as follows:

Seary's Ledge which is located across from where the Yachts are moored SE of which is located opposite crabb creek

Crabbe creek is good for whiting fishing but only at high tide

Snapper creek for whiting and flat head

Tebar Creek is located East of TCB as you are heading towards the BAR and is marked by a Yellow Cross also opposite Tebar Creek Yellow Cross is Tebar Ledge
.
Heading further towards the BAR you will see the barges if you look to your left you will see Big Mick (Green Cardinal Marker) usually there will be several boats ancored there.

If you head up the sandy straights you will come across Kauri Creek and opposite Kauri Ck is the Bluff on Fraser Is.

Mate enquire at some of the caravan site offices as there is a TCB rough mud map with all these locations marked on it

Hope this of some assistance

Hi Nick

The wife picked up a couple of macks last time we were at Tin Can.
In amongst the moored boats off Norman point.
We were fishing in a couple of deep holes for a cod or 2 and the baits got smashed as soon as they hit the water.
