Mate too windy to do any meaningful offshore work. If you've got an electric try the snags, use lures that work real slow. Barra and jacks will still eat as long as their gills are moving. Probably more likely to get small trevally though which can be fun. Otherwise anchor upstream of any decent snagpile, berley into it and use lightly weighted baits. Should work on bream, jacks, trevally etc.

The forecast doesn't look too bad. You might get a bit wet in the cc but that's half the fun!
