I know Buffels very very well , unfortunately the bulk of my time was spend on Surfing there . We did make a couple throws there ,our other observations I will also share .
1. If the seas are big , rather not fish or find a SAFE area to fish , We always swam through those gullies at the Caravan park and caught some good Cracker and Red Fish there , but we also saw Big Raggies patrolling those gullies . we also manage some Big leervis there about year 2000 , on plugs . From the Caravan park towards the Shop , its a VERY shallow reefy area , I would stay clear of . by the small slip you get your Elf on high tide .
The Wildside or outside of the bay , is what it name indicates wild , we have spotted many many sharks here rags and gullies , while surfing there , they are out of casting range thought lol ...the point in front of the old Bpackers are dangerous BE SAFE, DONT venture there when theres a swell running , this is a very serious warning !!! the amounts of water shifting and moving there when the swell is up are amazing to see , but not to fish in . The stretch of beach , from there towards the River , produces good fish , and you will get you rags there , we also saw some sharks there , got bitten off ect . A buddy of mine soiled himself there one morning while surfing the river mouth ... biiiggg Johnny .
SA fish is member here and would have better info as to my ' blast from the past ' lol
