Flinders pier.
Burley like a madman, little bits of chicken, or a sabiki jig. Remember, the rules say you can't bait up your sabiki jigs.....

Flinders Pier. Don’t use a sabiki rig, they’re a ******* nightmare to deal with. Never seen something easily tangle so much in my life. Night time. Burley crazy, use a paternoster rig with small hooks, I use a Gamakatsu shiner 6, with little bits of pilchard.

End of the pier or front of it?
Also do I cast out far or just drop it down
