I've got relies up that way, They say that when they can't get the boat outside because it's too rough they can always get a feed in the South West Rocks Creek upstream from the boat ramp.
Hope they bite for you.

JB , - There are literally hundreds of good spots around the SWR and general area for you to attack - I'll tell you of a few that will yield results .

1 ... Drive out to Arakoon and take a right before the jail then a left to lighthouse rd. - you'll see a right turn to the npws camp area and then you'll find the beach. Smokey Cape beach and it runs 14k down south to Hat Head . -- Beach rods - 8 to 10 ft'ers is all u need and worms ( buy if you have to at the bait shop or pippies & you can dig em up yourself along the beach ) will yield you some bream and whiting. Just check out the good looking holes and bait up with a 1 ' O ' long shank and you should catch a feed. Lot of red weed about the beach at the minute so find a clean spot or you'll go nuts with it all over your lines.

2 ... The breakwall around the coal wharf ( before the Riverside tavern ) is a good spot for flatties. Best bait is live poddies and you'll catch them in the back creek at SWR - bread and a bottle if you don't have a trap. Or use some WA pilchards on 3 gangs.

3 ... Anywhere along the riverbank lhs or rhs is always good for a fish - light rig is all you need and say 10lb line.

4 ... The wharf at Jerseyville is a good night spot for bream - same rig - easy fishing . Go down late afternoon and fish till dark.

If that dosent get you a good feed then go to the local and buy some F & C.

Watch out for the Ranger -- you need a fishing licence and a beach driving licence. - Good luck M8. - shadow.ibf.australia@bigpond.com

When the prawn trawlers come into the ' coal wharf ' to unload their boxes into trucks for the co-op -- thats the time to throw a lure down by the boat - never seen bream the size of em. -- Been here for many years and still today always catch a good feed each n every time I go . -- Local knowledge I reckon.
Not tellin where to get the Muddies though !!
