Monday was water was quite heavy with sediment with around a 1m visibility, the rain hasn't made too much of a difference the greatest contributing factor has been the strong East winds. Wednesday is a S wind, Thursday the winds are turning a sheltered W and should begin cleaning up. Friday low winds from the W turning E, before turning W Saturday Morning. Water should be pretty clean due to the W/SW winds by the weekend. I'll be heading out before the weekend either tomorrow, or Friday, will keep you posted.
Thanks, much appreciated

Quick update for the weekend!
As of yesterday evening 25/3/2021 the clarity was right up, easily a 10m+ visibility. The squid fired up in decent numbers (caught 2, saw another 3 caught) with some larger (~30cm)and smaller models (~20cm).

West winds Thursday leading into Friday has kept the clarity clear, the weekend being no exception. West winds are sheltered and should produce very enjoyable fishing. The squid were a little slow, before a smaller group of squid moved in right out from the second free-standing wood pylon on the wood. I caught a larger one second cast, then a smaller one later in the evening. They are out far right now, and a slow retrieve is working best. A jig with a rainbow foil style has been most productive, winner jigs last night where a friends dark green (rainbow foil) and my orange rainbow foil.

Overcast W wind morning tomorrow by the look of it with full sun early afternoon. Run in tide, should be pretty nice. Keen to get out.
