it sounds like you are land based so my advice would be to use a prawn imitation and try for flathead as there are a lot of places along the river just next to river street that you can access and i have seen a fair few flatties pulled up. on the other hand if you have a boat head out towards the mouth and use some larger plastics like 3 inch atomic grubs around the rockwalls for some jewies.

well thats my 2 cents anyway.

good luck

Mate if i was you i would use Soft Plastics & Hard Body Lures, also spinning near the rock wall works a treat. Being a structure that rock wall would hold some big fish

Best of luck mate

Hey mate, I lived at Bal for a few years, one of the best spots I ever came across was on south Ballina, take the ferry over, and when you when you get off turn left, follow the rd to c/van park, and fish the river side, I think it was called pourpus wall. I always did pretty well there.

If the wind and tide is right its also worth throwing a plastic on the surf side for a flattie or two....
