Bate Bay?

[ETTY]

Hi and Merry Christmas to all Raiders,

I was wondering about some fishing spots in Bate Bay targeting some of the heavier fish (kingies, tuna etc) hopefully using a new Shimano Charter Special I will get from a gift voucher I got for Christmas.

What other species could be caught in the area?

Could anybody tell me some spots where bottom bashing and lure trolling could be done?

Also what baits & lures would you suggest for fishing the area.

Thanks in advance & have a great New Year.

Cheers

Elliot

Kings can be taken off the Osbourne Shoal and Merry's Reef at the right time of year. The big 10kg plus ones are caught at night time.

Around the bombie is good for fish like flathead, leather jackets, snapper, mowies and what not.

I don't know about big tuna but plenty of Bonito are taken trolling close to the wash around the the headland and near the bombie.
