Charlie Foxtrot Fishing that spot is just one of many great spots on the peninsula. Every spot has its own idiosyncrasies. But they all work if you account for wind strength/direction, moon, tides, structure and time of day.

Look for high barometric pressure over 1020 in Australian measurements. Fish seem to bite better then. Check your local area weather observations on the Bureau of Meteorology site. I don't usually tell people this tip, but coz it must be so difficult for you physically I thought I'd help out.

Hi Wayne, new to your channel, really enjoyed this one. You show a lot of the basics as you fish, rigging up, using scent etc.which is good for beginners. Interesting to see you swap the reel handle over at the start (which is how I prefer mine), had you not used it before? Pete Harrison.

Main thing is use a sharp kook. I carry a small sharpening stone. Shouldn’t need to do much more than lift the rod firmly. Also make sure you wait for a solid contact with the fish. Don’t lift early.

Good vid, may I make a suggestion, let's start some thing that's needed, at the time you post your vid, there is a date on here, but it would be realy beneficial to do like a diary, like ummm Date fished Moon phase Tide times Barometer Position ( where ) Target species What this does is allows the master fish to communicate with the fisherman, it's all very well just another fishing vid, but to teach a man to fish to feed his family is another thing all together, just a thought, your channel is great, just I've been looking for that edge that makes a difference, Davi b

Queen's Beach should be renamed Dog's Beach... Full of unleashed dogs with owners who have no respect for people without dogs using the beach... Have had my gear ransacked and pissed on while fishing several times and I'm not exaggerating... Watch your step too, some owners also like to use the sand as their pet's toilet... Queen's Beach (North) is a no go zone for fishing IMO Side Note: Nice video

The best is Yet to be 4’ 2/0 or 3/0 with weight to match depth and flow. 2.5’ 1/0 fine gauge with weight to match depth and flow. Where this video was taken the depth is less than 1.5 meters so 1/6 is fine.
