San Remo produces gutters that constantly change shape, and when they're deep and defined, this beach fires. It's known locally as a sleeper spot for big tailor on summer nights — the kind of place where regulars quietly catch quality fish while everyone else crowds the jetties. The shifting sand creates new features after every decent swell.

Scout the beach first — the gutters here reshape regularly, so last week's hot spot might be flat sand today. When you find a defined gutter close to shore, fish it hard with pilchards on a running sinker or cast metals through it on the retrieve. Summer night sessions in slight sea breeze with choppy water bring the big tailor in close.

Tailor (huge summer night numbers, the main draw), mulloway (peak Nov in deeper holes), herring, whiting, and Australian salmon when autumn schools push through.

The choppy, slightly dirty water that most people avoid is exactly when this beach fishes best for tailor. A light onshore breeze stirring up the surface is a good sign, not a bad one. Fish the last two hours of light and the first hour of dark for the best summer tailor action.
