Never fished that area, so no help there I'm afraid. I bet there's a Raider from up that way can help further. Here's the Whereis map: Cheers, Pete.

squizzytaylor Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Dora Ck is in the southern side of Lake Macquarie and winds through the towns of dora Ck and Cooranbong. Known for Flathead it its entrance and also EP and Bass up towards the Cooranbong End. 8 knot speed limit the whole way. It is situated close to The eraring power station inlets and outlets which are know to produce all types of bizzare fish. There is a ramp at the end of Dora St with parking for about 15 cars and trailers. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in the nearby mangrove shallows. Around the corner is the hot water from the power station which has been known to produce monster tailer and big blackfish as well as a lot of good bream. There is a closed season in the hot water though so check up on it. The whole lake system up there is closed to pro fishing now and should fish pretty well for you if you put the time into it.

Harris Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi Damien, Grab the offer with both hands, I reckon you'll have a ball. In the cooler months, the Tailor in Myuna bay are certainly worth chasing. It's Jew, Flatties and Bream in the lake at the moment. You can get out to sea via the Swansea bar but it's a reasonable run from Dora to the bar. Cheers, Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
