Hi Shaun
You wont have many problems catching the fish if there biting most people fishing the beach use pilchards on ganged hooks or you could use pipis which are easily obtained from the sand but remember the limit of 50 per person or if you are talented enough to catch the sand worms at low tide they are also good bait.
You will be able to catch Salmon if on, bream, jew fish, whiting, and Tailor,aswell as flathead just depends what sort of fisho you are ;)))

Shaun I gather you are fishing with wazza .Feb should be atop time on Stocko as Kimbo suggested with afair share of good Whiting being caught.hope you can catch beach worms as they are top bait for any types of fish.If you are talking to Wazza suggest he meet you at the Biribu tavern which at the top of the beach where the easiest access to the beach is because he will have trouble finding you at night

The best way to catch fresh beach worm is to go to a place called Tackle Power bait shop at Sandgate which saves a lot of backache
