Where are the bream at Pelican Point?

Along the weed edges and over the sand-and-weed mosaic on the rising tide. Sight-fishing in clear water is the local style — wade carefully, present cleanly, and the bream are right there. First-cast accuracy matters more than fancy lures.

Is Pelican Point good for whiting?

Yes — yellowfin whiting hold on the cleaner sand patches from October through April. Fish on the rising tide with surface lures or lightly weighted prawn baits on light gear. The visual takes are part of the appeal.

Can I wade-fish at Pelican Point?

Yes — wading the flats on a rising tide is the headline land-based feature. Stay no deeper than waist; the main channel drop-off is closer than it looks. Watch for stingrays and respect the seagrass habitat.

What's the best lure for Pelican Point bream?

Unweighted 1.5–2.5 inch soft plastics in natural colours worked slowly along weed edges, or 35–50 mm suspending hardbody minnows. Light leaders (4–6 lb) and clean presentations beat heavy gear every time in the clear shallow water.
