| Fish top and bottom of tides with bait or jigs for trout. Once run picks up, switch to metal knife jigs or trolling gear. Good cobia spot and also holds big mackerel at times. |

| Top shoal for chasing grassy sweetlip and coral trout. Fish deep rubble around the edges over the tidal change with light lead and running sinker rig for best catches. Big lipper at night. |
|

| Small rubble on sandy bottom. Snapper in winter on whole squid or soft plastics. Fish light and use finesse gear. |

| Small rock and shale on sandy bottom. Snapper in winter on whole squid or soft plastics. Fish light and use finesse gear. |

| Top spot to get kids into using lures. Cod, small trout and stripeys in large numbers will take most lures and jigs. Also holds school mackerel, golden trevally, wolf herring and sweetlip. |
|
||
| Some rubble on the bottom, occasional sweetlip and grunter. If bait is present on the edge of the shoal, troll with gar or hard bodies for mackerel. Tuna often feeding nearby. |

| Grunter at night. Fresh dead herring work best. Fish light. Occasional mackerel and tuna during the day. Worth a troll with high speed spreads. |

| Mackerel and trevally on the troll. Trout on the top of the rock on big baits, preferably live. Fish edge over the change of the tide for big grassy sweetlip and occasional snapper in winter. |
