A long, long time ago, when I was a kid, we used to holiday at Palm Beach on the Gold Coast every year, sometimes more often. I fished with my Pa in Currumbin Creek, off Palm Beach and the rock at Currumbin (was it Lion Rock or just Currumbin Rock?).

I know the creek has changed a lot since the 60s and 70s but beaches change all the time and you have a creek running out into the ocean at the southern end of Palm Beach bringing lots of goodies! You should get all the usual beach species, just look for the gutters. Off the rocks we got luderick, black and silver drummer, groper etc.

Perhaps the “school hours” is not really helping. Try and fish the low light periods around dawn and dusk.

The Seaway can fish pretty well at this time of the year for tailor/trevally on lures- pick a rising tide early in the morning , 40 gm raiders work well. School hours might be the issue, but top of the tide can still fire. Used to live up there and did reasonably well on the rockwall
