is it worth having a spin off the beach/rocks?

[trewy2428]

Was thinking of going down to mount martha beach and rocks and having a spin with some metals. Is it worth it? or is the weather even too extreme for the salmon?

thanks

This is snapper weather. Don't do it, it's too dangerous.

If you do for gods sake take safety precautions.

Have a look at the below topic viewtopic.php?f=26&t=10059" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; would be silly to risk it in this weather off the rocks with wind in face, massive swells......

I'd wait until the wind and waves died down a little bit, as it would be hard to cast, plus the waves breaking on the rocks would make it difficult to get close to the waters edge.

I was thinking more off the sand at the beach, i have had success doing it before, but not it this type of weather...

Just park your car on Hearn road and open your windows. A snapper might fly in.

:crazy: :crazy: off Martha rocks once it has reached 30 knots SW. Yes, the next day if around 15-20 knots. Looking at the forecast next 3 days still around 20-30 knots. I would wait, even from the beach maybe too rough even though it gets sheltered somewhat from the point.

Good luck if you give it a go. I have fished the rocks before 25 and 30 knots and it is hard work, lots of fun but also a bit dicey. Some good size fish landed though. I don't do it any more. I chase the 15-20 knot conditions now, more comfortable.

It's usually pretty good down there after a big blow so my advice would be to wait until it calms down somewhat.
