I'm heading down that way today. I thought red point was a lot further down than your talking about. One good spot is near the old pilon's in the water, caught massive whiting all along that stretch and in that little bay. We used to fish off the rocks just up from there also overnight and always got spooled or broken off few times. Last time went with mate and I fell asleep after loading up with full pilchards on hooks, and setting back my rod to tiny little tent 30m or so off beach away, he tightened my drag when he was checking my rod. Well I woke up in morning to see a50m snake looking mark down beach where something huge had taken off with my rods. Never take middle track that's nightmare, go straight to beach about 50m back on rd you come in once in car park. It used to take us good hour half to get to red point, we used to follow up around edge of cliffs which is but hairy, through the mutton bird colony, look out they protect their burrows and nip at your feet plus it's a good place to roll an ankle so only do in daytime. Once the mutton birds go out then come back in in there hundreds and them flying at your head and around it on way back in is pretty freaky in itself. When we got to rocks we didn't even need to cast really it's that deep.
