Venus Bay/Anderson inlet

[FishHunter81]

Hi guys. I'm going to inverloch for a few nights during school holidays and have a fees Qs regarding fishing the area. Firstly with Venus bay surf fishing, is there a particular wind that makes it more difficult to get the baits into the fish zones?
And secondly with the Anderson inlet and inverloch jetty is it more preferable to fish high tide or low? I've heard people say low is good for gummies as you can get into the channel gutter when land based. Any tips appreciated
Cheers

We were there a few weeks ago and caught a couple of sambos from beach 4 on dusk. There have been reports of decent fish to 1-2kg around beach 1. We were spinning off the beach using 15-25gm slugs. We did try at the entrance of Anderson inlet on incoming tide and a mate caught one salmon around 1.5kg, fat and full of baitfish.

We tried pensioners point and caught some small KGW on squid, low tide seems to be the most effective.

We were there about a month ago now and fished from beach number 1 at Venus bay.
Fished late arvo the day we arrived and I caught a few salmon spinning 40g metals on the left side of the car park. Used those for bait for a gummy that evening with no luck.
The next morning walked about 500m to the left to get away from the surfers and the few other fishos and did alright with the salmons. We fished around the high tide.

For Anderson Inlet and the Inverloch Jetty I have found the 45mins + either side of the tide turns most productive for Salmons and Trevelly (at this time of the year). The body of water in this area can move wicked fast on a big tide, so you should do better as it reaches its peak or at towards the bottom end. Other wise, if the weed is not around, I generally prefer the run in tide. In my opinion, if the weed is around, you may as well go home.

I have posted a few reports during the past year for Inverloch / Anderson, you might get something out of them... or not .

I would head to Port Welshpool pier. Fishing in Anderson's Inlet has been terrible this year.
