    Location: Cunjerong Point

    Condition: This ramp is in fair condition. It has oysters at the sides of the ramp. The channel constantly changes due to the shifting sandbar at the mouth of Lake Conjola making it difficult to launch larger boats.

    Hi raiders,
    just a report on Bendalong boatramp. There a 2 boatramps at Bendalong

    Condition: The One on the left has concrete all the way to the water and is suitable for 2wd vehicles. The other is concrete but it finishes at the sand and has a drop off at the end. This would only be suitable for 4wd. You need to be careful during a north east swell as the surge can be pretty tricky.
    Parking is not very good during summer so you need to get there early

    Amenities: There are no toilets. There are a couple of dodgy cleaning tables.

    Cheers

    UPDATE 18/7/2014 from member dogbox

    This ramp should not be underestimated as a 2 wheel drive ramp, there are a number of safety issues that will catch out the an unsuspected user.

    1. At low tide the concrete ramp ends well above the low tide line causing you to have to retrieve your boat on the sand.

    2. Low tide increases the wave height at the ramp causing the rear vehicle to be inundated by salt water

    3. The water action will cause you trailer and car to sink very quickly

    The best advice I can give is only use a 4 wheel drive and make sure you have a fishing buddy with you. Be prepared to launch and retrieve quickly.post-869-0-44272100-1405688674_thumb.png

    yep sure does. A tecnicallity, as the boat trailer was hitched to the vehicle at the time, it was covered on the car insurance, which was extended to cover the boat in transit, hitched up = in transit, just like it was robbed at a servo or a supermarket car park. it is worth paying attention to your insurance details. maybe someone could come up with a boat tarp with a steel wire mesh within and a padlockable steel draw cord?

    How about a 240 volt current running through the mesh??? :074:

    G'Day Sam,

    I have exactly the same type of trailer for my Polycraft. I have the 2 rear wobble rollers in the water enough to see the top of them and a little of the centre skids. I don't have any problems doing it this way.

    Akuna Bay information

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hey Guys,

    I hope this is of use to you.

    I had a run-in with Marine and security at Akuna Bay the other day, so I wrote to NPWS to get the correct information about where to fish, this is the response:

    The Akuna Bay Marina and its footprint are leased by Macquarie Leisure Group from the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. The lease area covers the entire bay containing the marina, plus the car park.

    As is the case with most marinas, the fish in the area are protected and no recreational fishing is permitted.

    Fisheries NSW have two commercial fishing operators who have commercial licenses to fish and net in Cowan Creek, which includes the Akuna Bay Marina lease area. Following negotiations with the marina manager, they have agreed not to fish or trap in the lease area, as it is also a shipping channel, and they accept that their activities are not consistent with managing the area for boating.

    Recreational fishing is permitted once you have rounded the corner away from the bay in both directions, but there is no car parking along the RTA managed road until you get to Illawong Bay to the west.

    I trust that this helps you understand the restrictions regarding Akuna bay.

    A mate suggested that we go somewhere during the easter break and i started looking at places within 3-4 hour drive distance from Sydney, and you guessed right, ALL BOOKED OUT! :1badmood:

    So, taking a long shot and thought of asking beloved fishraider raiders whether they know of any place (not too commercialised, preferebly not advertised on the net!) big enough for 4 adults and 2 toddlers..somewhere near water where i can cast a line would be NICE! :)

    Thank you all in advance!

    Manyana or Bendalong down the south coast???
