i reckon thats what i have here, in the good banks at high tide then flat mud 1-2mtrs deep.
At least you have several kms to work with and the docks, although that could be just as frustrating lol.

yeah - its a case for me I just go elsewhere on the low at the moment. But seriously they must go somewhere. Just a case of finding them. They'll follow the bait/food so I guess first job is finding that ?

I will say though if you can't move then you might have a problem. I've fished my "high tide spots" on the low numerous times and never had any success. I'm fairly confident they ain't there. It's not like they hang around but deeper or more central. I find they start to move up and stage/hold on the run-in (so you do pick them up deeper then ) and then they move up on the bank as the high progresses..... When I've tried fishing more than a couple of hours before the high its deserted.

I find the low challenging in most spots I fish too be honest. I'd also say my catch is like 99% bream, 1% flatties on a high and 75% flatties and %25 bream on the low

Docks works whatever the tide it seems but it is 10m deep.

Generally though what I do is not fish at low tide there. But I do think there is a challenge there that needs cracking

Low tide for me looks like this. As far as I can tell the middle is just a concave-ish mud bottom about 3m deep at the most and pretty much a desert.



NFI where the bream go.

ATM .. a fair bit higher

had a crack last night on the incoming tide...in the rain :/

Tried with sp's for a while, then tried a eco SX 402 i think...that lasted a while...until it snagged. There's a reason i like sp's...they are so much cheaper than loosing a $20+ HB.
oh well...thats fishing as they say.
No hits or intrest on either.
