gw77 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hi All, Just wondering if anyone would have any recommendations on where would be a good place to go for a fishing holiday within NSW, within walking distance to rock & beach fishing as well as good for fishing from a boat. I was thinking about South West Rocks but just wondering whether anyone knew of anywhere closer to Sydney or a better spot or could even recommend somewhere different. Cheers : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashir Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Kiama has some of the best rock fishing you will ever find and all the spots don't require a big walk. The beaches down that way fish real good and there is a top boat ramp in the harbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gw77 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 Thanks guys. While fishing from the boat I will be looking at going for larger fish rather than just bream, flathead etc.. What about Narooma, Jervis Bay or Nelsons Bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashir Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Kiama has no river fishing, its all the big stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gw77 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 Hehehe.. The person that I will be going with is wanting to go somewhere different as he is living at Kiama and always fishes there : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I have had fishing holidays in both Narooma & Jervis Bay. Narooma has some great estuary fishing around the oyster racks and elsewhere, plus rock & beach. Heading offshore is not a good idea unless you are very experienced at crossing bars, because the Narooma bar is notorious. If you can afford a charter trip, better to do it that way with an experienced local in a big boat. Jervis Bay is also good value, with the bay itself providing plenty of opportunities by boat and off the shore. It is not a good spot to get caught in a strong wind in a small boat though! Getting offshore also is not a drama. The beach and rock fishing in the nearby national park is also pretty good, but be prepared to walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coast_Bloke Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 (edited) Yeh I would say Forster or the seals rocks area is very good. If you want to rock beach fish Treachery is a good beach, small hike to it, but a good point etc. Harrington is a pleasant little town further north, with good fishing and easy outside access too. Its also got a massive breakwall that I hear is a decent spot to flick. Edited March 19, 2005 by Coast_Bloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beach can get pretty wild - when we were there earlier this year the swell was running and there were some nasty looking rips around. Great gutters for a beach fish though. See you up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpig Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Try Manning Point. Great beach and river fishing plus not as far as SWR. Cheers Kingpig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
