Gove beach fishing

[MattyDucati]

Well i started my new job last week in gove and decided id go for a walk down the beach after work.
I knew that the fishing was good up here but i did not think i would catch something off the beach on this day as there was a gale blowing onto the beach and i was having trouble casting the popper into the wind. the waves were mucking up the water and you couldnt see 1cm into the water.
I walked down to this little headland and flicked the red and white popper as far as i could and after about 4 casts i was on a little queenfish about 45cm, i was shocked! In total i got 2 queenys about the same size and as the sun was setting i needed to head off as there was a 30min walk to get back to my room for tea.
I cant wait to get out in a boat up here and catch some bigger stuff.

Wait till you get a big one, my biggest one from Gove went about 8kg.
I forget the name of the spot but you go down the road beside the golf club and turn right (opps ment to say Left) and go out to the spit, climb over the large rock out crop and have a go there.
Big to huge mac's Queenies ect it was my top spot

FiFo will make it a bit hard to get to on foot. Yep that's the name of the creek I think but it has been about 8yrs since I was there
Here is a Google of it Use to have Very deep water, the spot I fished was on the outside and to the right of the rock as you climbed over it on a platform about 3-4 foot out of the water
