locodave Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Hey Guys, I normally go to lion island everytime I fish. Get some decent fish around there. I was just wondering if there are any other good spots around there? Where abouts is west reef? Is it nearby? DOes it produce good fish? Wouldn't mind getting some salmon or Kingfish.

Wastin Time Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I don't have GPS Might have to work something out, thank you for that Maybe hook up with a fellow raider one day & use points on land??? Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DV8 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Maybe hook up with a fellow raider one day & use points on land??? Just a thought West reef is easy to find as long as you have a sounder. The transit is Mt ettalong water tower (big Blue water tank on hill) lined up with tip of box head. Follow this transit out 1 nautical mile. The reef will appear on the sounder anywhere as shallow as 13m. North Palm Beach beach will just come into visibility. I only fish West reef in a North Easterly with a south running current. Otherwise you are fishing hard ground and just pick up rock cods, Sgts and wrasse etc. I am sure other guys will tell you they fish it in other conditions but then again you can find someone to tell you anything including who killed JFK. I'll organise a trip with you some time if you want. My boat is only 13 ft so I need to really pick my days to go out there. Good luck Davo Maybe hook up with a fellow raider one day & use points on land??? Just a thought West reef is easy to find as long as you have a sounder.

To you guys wandering where west reef is Here are the marks (no.1) WEST REEF Water Tank above Pearl beach Visible around Box Head. North palm beach obscured by Barrenjoey. I usually fish the most southerly point of it in a Nor Easter Hope this helps and we can catch up soon. wouls love to come out with you in a slightly bigger boat than my own. Davo Sorry guys When I looked at the scan online it looks pretty crap. Send us a PM and we can catch up and exchange phone numbers. Will not be online now until MONday morning so have a good weekend fishing. The forecast does not look good so stay inside. Davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up your GPS marks...(bottom right corner) on my PC program and that is the cursor position. I have often wondered how accurate it is.........I guess the program must be accurate ...the GPS unit is what varies , I think I may finally be working it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
