Iv'e always had a list of spots facing nth when a big southerly sea is running, or river and creek entances ,you can fish the bottom or use a float or bobby cork, you can really pelt it out, the same go's for NE winds, just watch the spot for a while and know what the tides doing,watch after a big westerly dies down you get calm water with the odd monster wave ps this is for the east coast nsw
