king-george-whiting, bream, flathead and squid can be targeted at the location during summer. Activity is strongest for these species during the warmer part of the year. Actual catches will vary according to temperature trends, localised weather and tides.
pinkie-snapper and flathead are a good choice for anglers to target during autumn. With the water temperature dropping the location provides an opportunity to concentrate on these species.
Spring sees the water temperature begin to rise with flathead becoming more active. Later in spring summer species such as king-george-whiting, bream, flathead and squid begin to move into the area and can become more common at the location.
The beach and Martha Cove fishes well at times. Its a good alternative to fishing the nearby rock wall (where fishing has been banned.) Its pretty shallow here, but there is some structure like sea grasses that attract many fish species.
No. Because a forecast cannot truthfully guarantee whether fish are biting at a specific spot right now. Getfished shows the current fishing conditions instead: tide movement, solunar timing, weather, wind, pressure, marine conditions and fishing report derived species history.
