greg123 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hi all, i plan on going up to Port Stephens/Nelson Bay over easter and will most likely take my boat up. Can anyone give me some tips or locations that hold some good fish up there? My boats just a tinny so nothing offshore unfortunately. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Greg Fishing around the Tomaree headland is worth a try. The water flows through rather quickly so around half an hour each side of the top or bottom of the tide is best To obtain the latest info , suggest a trip to the local tackle stores . There are 2 in Nelson Bay , one near the Information center but parking can be difficult , the other is in town opposite the supermarket. There is another in the servo next to the Salamanda shopping center. I'v generally found this one to be the best. If I recall correctly they also have maps. Talking of maps , be aware that areas of PS are a marine park so suggest you pick up a map from the tackle store as the fines can be rather expensive. Others have asked similar questions in the past regarding fishing the PS bay. Suggest you use the "Search" function , some of the information may be usefull Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lighthouse2k Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Just so you know the one opposite the servo has closed. The one is Salamander was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Fly Point and it is definitely worth a snorkel. You can see huge whiting, flathead, luderick, mullet, bream etc. Can't fish there, of course. Go around an hour before high tide in the morning.
