Every time we went to wedge
Every time we went to wedge off the beach was mainly for salmon. We use to bring the whole family camp for a few days and while targeting salmon and let the kids go for whiting, herring.
Other than that we only got a few sharks, stingrays and some buff bream. Have't been for a few years but we never really got much more then that, other than salmon ofcourse.
Not to sure about in a boat
