The fish weren't up that way today the ones that did well were at the breakwater or out very wide. Id be launching down at the breakwater picking up squid and deploying it where you catch it, if I was down there tomorrow. Plus its more sheltered down there it was like a washing machine at Minerva.

I'll see you there...if it's breaking too much the dinghy ramp is next best.

Looks a good spot and it's only around 7km straight line to Wally's but you are out into productive water quicker. Unless there's a change in where the fish are holding I'll probably be launching at Nunns beach on Monday as well.
