Gibbofisho Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hey Guy's, My mates are planning a trip (with girlfriends/wives) down the coast this year, we usually go up but we thought we'd head down, my pre requisites are alway's going to be fishing, but the ladies will want something nice, so what towns have nice beaches for both fishing and swiming and a good headland for fishing and maybe even an inlet. I've already said no to batemens bay cause i've never caught fish there. And where is every one else going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbofisho Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 yea i think we're looking at jervis, there's good diving there as well. I'd like somewhere that i can haul a esky of beer down to the beach from the camp site and sit there all nigh and can on while trying to cath fish!

kantong Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 (edited) Gday mate, Culburra is a beautful place, beautiful beach, lighthouse and if you like the very quiet type of town. Fishing- There are boat ramps there, to head out. Beaches: Culburra beach, Warrain Beach. About hauling an esky onto the beach all night. I was staying in a cabin at a caravan park in Crookshaven (they have campsites there too, plus boat storage) and I could walk down to the beach with my gear and stay out all night and in the morning or when I was done, i could walk back to my cabin clean up and go to bed! just awesome. There is a river system going into Greenwell Point (you can buy fresh oysters here), jetties, sand flats, oyster racks all fishable. A short drive will get you around to Comerong Island, land based jew spot. Driving distance to Beecroft Penisula, Point Perpendicular, the Tubes. I think there is an offshore mountain, similar to Browns but cant remember the name. I heard some fishos heading out that way, setting off from Greenwell Point. only 2.5hrs from sydney.

Gibbofisho Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 yeah the offshore mountain is called the banks, i've dived it before, awesome spot! currarong is looking the goods, but does it have good land based fishing, i think we'll have a tinny down there but nothing that will take on the open ocean, also, i'm not too keen to take on the tubes, its a lot of work and i'm there to relax.

kantong Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 (edited) yea for relaxing purposes, beaches are the go. For Currarong, fish the headlands. There is an island near the headland and fish near there is good. On the inside of the headlands, where Currarong is located I think its still fishable though, found this: http://www.mpa.nsw.gov.au/jbmp/jbmp-overview-plan6.htm Best to make sure with the local council. I havent fished the beach before, looks good for whiting, bream and flatties though. A tinny will be able to handle inside the headlands and maybe just the go for Curranrong!

Lasty Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I've often gone to Sussex Inlet. There is a nice town with clubs cinema supermarket etc and are plenty of caravan parks along the river where you leave your boat in the water. A tinny is perfect for the inlet and St Georges Basin. We usually stay at Alonga Cottages, although we have camped at Badgee Caravan Park. Both of these places have websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
