I visited Clifton yesterday. the water was good although a little milky. I shot the following video and this shows the conditions so you can get an idea of what the sea was like.

It cost one dollar in a slot machine to open the access barrier. When I next see the camp manager I am going to suggest they have a year's pass for those who just wish to use the road for access to the fishing beaches.
If they made a $50.00 annual charge for this I would be very happy, especially as they are in urgent need of funds to work and repair the access road. In my opinion one more severe storm and the road will be impassable.

Hi Hangler, a good video. I liked your bait presentation. I sometimes find that threading a hook through a pilchard or anchovie can break it up so your idea will work well. Thanks.
Thank you Druid, it's always nice to pass on ideas when something useful crops up. It is better if the anchovy is frozen, then you can cut open the gut cavity and not lose the all important juices.
I carry my bait in a small chilly box (or bag), this way I can bait up hooks and keep them in the chilly box until they are ready to be put to use. This doesn't waste any time with the end gear on the beach, wind in, snap on a new trace (genie clips are ideal) and get fishing again immediately.
