says:Hi Alan, really depends what you want to do! Your beach fishing rod should be ideal for land based fishing around Point Peron, set it out with some strip mullet bait. If you want to use some lures, a fairly cheap setup is a Daiwa Crossfire 2.6m rod. It is graphite so you can use lures. I’d match it with a Shimano Reel, around 2500-4000 size would cover most species. I used a Crossfire with a 2500 reel and soft plastics, managed to get a heap of bream at Gregories on the rocks. Good luck mate, I hope you catch heaps of fish, it is a beautiful part of Australia. Are you heading north or south from there?
