S-Tury,
Old Happyknacker here.
Ummm better explain that I guess... Glad Stone = Happy Knacker
Try fishing the railway bridge from Mt Miller side, produces Bream, Grunter, school jew and salmon when they are around.
The salmon should be coming on soon and I never miss at this spot when land based.
Good muddies here too.
You need to be there right on low tide and fish the first few hours of the run in for salmon.
There is a good chance of a barra here to, but make sure you fish off the pylon landing to get on the gravel bottom, otherwise you will be fishing over a featureless mud bottom.
Half pillies or mullet fillet are the go for most species although you'll need live mullet for the barra, and dont be afraid to use big baits and big hooks.
I use nothing under a 5/0 and a 7/0 for the salmon.
To get there drive down the entrance road to Orica chemicals then turn left when you hit the railway line then follow it until you cant go any further.
Take the mossie repellant mate as they will carry you away
Live baits out from the power station hot water outlet will get you a skinny or a barra, but fish the mouth of this outlet with no weight or a long leader under a float, again low tide is best.
Good luck....
Cheers,
Rich.
