That was land based, lakers cutting its a man made cutting connected to swan bay so you can legally fish there.
Its just as if not more shallow than swan bay, I was fishing an unweighted live crab so the cast only went 15-20m out and into about 50cm of water.

The rest of swan bay apart from a decent sized channel through the guts of it and the pier is as you said marine sanctuary.
That's one of the reasons I love kayak fishing, so many more options.

If you can get a spot at least 2\3rds down swan bay jetty and put a 70m cast out in the direction of Melbourne. It should put you in 1-1.5m, plenty deep enough.

Cheers, is the pier busyish midnight to sunup?
And i should be able to get out that far,
What would expect to get?
Thanks again
