Couldn't help myself after reading this. I went to mt martha for a quick flick.
First one hour was tough, tried white and green jigs in diff sizes.
Then 2.5 red egiexile, bang! 3x squids in 15 mins, dropped 2x. Was like 2pm.
A lot of boats and kayaks in front of me and didn't see they're catching, also couple divers.

But yes, heaps of boats and jetskis, really annoying :/ if you have the entire ocean when you've got a boat, yet you've got to come right up to shore where the landbased peasants like myself are...

Yeah I know right... Those expensive boat and all, yet they're stuck with landbased spots. Oh well, it is public water...

I was north of hearn road. A lot of people fishing off the rock too.

Oh that's odd, the north carpark where you turn off right from hearn rd onto esplanade, or did you try another cliff section a bit further up? Didn't see you, but nice work! Was really hoping to get a few more today haha. I spoke to one of the spearos earlier in the day, said he saw big schools of small squid (20+) and also big snook whilst he was swimming around. Shame I couldn't get onto any, the noise from all the boats definitely scares the fish I think :(

Yup, I parked my car there and went down to the rocks from there. Tried there and walked on the rocks to the north while keep casting with diff colours and sizes, tried plastic too for fish. Walked probably 100m til I caught those three squids. There was a guy snorkeling near where I threw my squid jig and yet I caught them.
But yeah, the boats and jet skis probably scared them put them off.
Saw a lot of small garfish, sweeps, and small school of salmons chasing my plastic.

Definitely good spot mate, thanks.
Looks good to fish at night for big fish too.
