Eastern end
A westerly has held for 6 hours, running warmer than the water (25°C air against 20°C water). Expect fish at the eastern end — the bank it is blowing into — where the drift piles food, colour and warmth together. This reads the upper water, though — a bottom bait at range feels it far less than a floater or a fish in the margins. Treat it as a tiebreaker between good swims rather than an override — features and angling pressure usually count for more.
How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
Mid-Feb to mid-Oct for fishing; daily during school holidays, closed Thursdays outside holidays
Where
Start with Booby (10-12) — on the point. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
The plan
Plan A
Start with Booby (10-12) — on the point. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
Plan B
A fry-imitating pattern stripped through the margins can save a blank in autumn.
Watch for
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Bank
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

Water here around 20°C — probably warm enough to stress Rainbow . These are likely cooler.

Why this score
- High temperatures may push fish deeper and reduce surface activity.
