It’s more of a pelagic spot and a likely place to try for a king. I have seen snapper caught off the SE corner, but not many considering the hours some guys have put in.

You can get groper there all along the ledge, but for bream and drummer you’re best trying the south end around the mouth of Mermaids on the edges of the wash.

If the swell is down, Little Beecroft, on the south end of Lobster Bay, will fish better for the bread and butter species. Use caution there as the rocks are low to the water and best fished on a low tide. 

Thanks mate, ill let you know how I go

Jump onto Google Earth and take a look at Big Beecroft/Mermaids Inlet at Currarong for a safe rock fishing spot that can cope with a decent swell.

For your beach fishing, Warrain Beach stretching between Culburra and Currarong should provide you with a few fish. Just be aware there is a Sanctuary Zone just south of Kinghorn Point.

Thanks GH, 

What can I expect to catch at mermaids? The usual Bream/drummer or are there snapper and grouper lurking around?

thanks again

Hi all,

Heading down to Callala beach for the weekend with some mates, looking to get them onto some salmon & tailor from the beach (which shouldn't be too hard), and maybe some kingies or snapper from the rocks if anyone knows any safe spots apart from the main LBG areas (Tubes etc...)

Thanks all

Great story Waza. I came across your post about Mulloway and fishing the murk earlier today and found this video highlighting the dangerous situations im sure you and your mates have been in many times.

Just to add, most Alveys are used on the beach, or around the rocks, that's why they are so popular, no amount of salt water, or bump on the rocks will affect the operation on the reel, a long, soft rod helps to take some shock out of the direct wind, once mastered, an Alvey is a great tool for fishing.

Thank you!

I'm keen to test it out now

Whereabouts did you go if I may ask?

Yep, lots of Alveys are like that, that's how they were made, you haven't lived until you get a decent run and the spool is spinning, then as you try to grab the handles, most of the skin from your knuckles gets whipped off! you soon learn about "palming" the spool after that.

So its meant to be like that?

What strategies would you use for fishing with a reel like that?

Most decent tackle stores do repairs, and I mean tackle store, not a discount chain store, but, as mentioned, there's not a lot to an Alvey, what's wrong with it?

It seems to have no mechanism stopping from reeling outwards, if you get what im saying. It reels in fine, but it also reels backwards,  so if a fish was taking it the handles would be spinning as well, not just the line

Hi all, I recently came into possession of one of my grandfathers old alvey reels, but it needs a bit of repairs done, does anyone know a place that repairs reels like this?

 

Thanks
