For me i prefer to fish craster on a fairly calm sea so keep a eye on winds and swells. I have had fish Feb and March time from the rocks. big baits are good with rotten bottom set up, i prefer plain leads as there is loads of kelp. Second gulley north of harbour is my preferred mark.

cheers mate, i usually fish the south side of the harbour but might try the north side, im planning on fishing an ebb tide near the end of the month. Is the gulley obvious at high water or just on low water?

it can be seen at both low and high water. If you come to a big log on the ground you are just past the gulley. Fish right hand side as far down as you can get, follow the tide down but take it easy on the rocks, they are slippy

Try the Wansbeck from the Dam down towards the river mouth, might be worth a look at low tide.
