Any Good Fishing Spots In Jervis Bay

[ivano]

Hi all,

I'm thinkin of fishin over in Jervis Bay durin the X'mas period.

Can anyone recommend any good fishing spot that's not too difficult to access?

I'm thinkin of catchin some whitings or if abit more adventurous to catch that elusive kingies that I would love to land my hands on?

Hope someone can help.

I'll be at Sanctuary Point, was wondering if the St George Basin is any good?

Thanks all.

Hey mate,

The basin has some whiting, garfish, flathead, bream etc. There are prawns in the shallows but watch out for rays as last time i almost stepped on one!

If you want to hit JB itself go to Murrays Beach boat ramp in the national park. Its about a 15min drive from sanctuary point. If you don't feel comfortable crossing the heads fish bowen island. Plenty of bait on the inside (yakkas, slimies and calamari) and pelagics on the outside. Just watch out for the exclusion zone which i think is on the SE side of the island. Check the maps. Goodluck.

Thanks Andrew.

Is Calamari good to be fished all day round or only at night?

db,

I've had one of my best squid sessions down at JB in the middle of the day when the sun was blaring.....we picked up more than we could possibly eat in only a few minutes.....

good luck

db,

I have personally found squid fishing to be most productive right on the change of light. Dawn and dusk. When i have fished near Murray's in the shallows I have had very little success during the day.

In saying that, here in sydney i have plenty of sucees catching calamari all through the day, particularly in deeper water. catch-22 seems to have had success in the day, if you don't mind letting us know the general area and depth of where you are fishing?

Wow...

U guys r so lucky.

I dun even know where I m. Only know I m in Sanctuary Pt. I saw a boat ramp earlier on... Next to it was a washing area. Further up the slope is err... A toilet? Anyone can tell me what boat ramp that might be?

The next few questions that I've are...

1. That boat ramp that I mentioned above. If anyone know which one that I m talkin about, are there fishes there?

2. I dun have a boat. Only hands n legs + rods. Where to catch calamari?

3. Huskinville has a wharf and on the right there's a what U call that? A ladder? A staircase? Haha... I m going mad... God, I m bad at descriptions. Which used to decent for fishing. Now they build a gate there... Where else to fish?

I m bad at this area. Tomorrow's Xmas n nothing much to do... Dunno where to fish.

4. Is fishing with plastics any good?

5. How safe is it to walk out to the basin to fish slightly further?

6. Any particular place where I can fish w/o much effort of climbing up and down coz I m not too familiar w this area.

Help help...

N how to get to the other side of the basin?

Thanks guys 4 helping me out...
