Hopetoun Fishing

 During the school holidays, I'm staying at 4 mile beach campground for a week during Easter. We will be camping on the beach, and I'm wondering what fish I should be able to get. I was think salmon (I have the right gear), I'm just not really sure how to target them. Help would be greatly appreciated.

 Classic beach fishing mate. Mulloway salmon and shark are plentiful.  Full mulie or herring fillet hoiked out on a paternoster style rig is pretty common. Look for deep gutters in between breaking waves.  My son lives there and does well. Also squid from the local jetty. A beautiful part of the world.  Enjoy but be careful. It's a very dangerous and unforgiving coast line that has claimed many inexperienced fishos from the rocks.
