Thank you both of you, and sorry for the late reply!
Went to the Merthyr Park today for some flatty today but no luck. had some bite though, but not sure what it was. Definitely should of used bait instead of soft plastic here.
Yeah I’ll try some small deep cranks around the rock area! I’m afraid of using soft plastics though, feels like it’s gonna snag a lot.
Also, I've found a way to get to Sandgate area easily, so I’ll just use soft plastic over there
Bait & hard body in the CBD, soft plastic at Northside
