dsaun Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Hi Everyone, Can anyone help? I live in clovelly and want to catch some decent size fish (not too fussed what) close to home. I have a car but i'm struggling to find a safe place where i can fish from the shore. I have been told maroubra and la perouse are good places but not sure on tactics or where exactly. Can anybody suggest any places to go? Cheers
alasdair Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Hi dsaun, I fish the rocks at south maroubra a bit. Not much off the beach. Browns rock and Bare island at la perouse sometimes. Browns is safe, plenty bait and good fishing. There was a report on this site about a good king caught there last week. Will be trying to get some fishing in soon depending on shifts, send me a PM if your interested in some company. alasdair
marley Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Maroubra beach fishes well for the usual species - salmon, tailor, bream, whiting, blackfish Find a good gutter and throw ganged hooks with a pilly on it If you get it right the nth end fishes well for blackfish - it's no big secret - just head down there look for the where the weed is growing, pick some off the rocks and have a go. As alasdair has mentioned the sth end is great, but it is a rock platform and you need cleats and you need to be careful - fish this in a southerly swell only. So you don't walk all the way out there, park at the nth end on the hill and look across. Another good spot out there is The Blessings - you are high up and it is a safe spot. It can get busy, but if you get there early enough, you can pick your spot. You catch pigs, bream, blackfish etc here. Do a search on this website and you will find out more. yarra bay is good for flatties and it's totally safe Bare Island produces squid at night as does Malabar I have caught blackfish off the beach at nth coogee, but it can be a challenge to fish it in summer. Go early or late to avoid the crowds. You can actually fish Clovelly pool (just not for groper). Give it a go at night when all the crowds have disappeared. On a CALM (i stress CALM) day you can fish Shark Point (this is the point out front of clovelly) - be careful and don't fish this place alone - you can get kingies, bream, trevally, squid, blackfish - etc alasdair i have probably seen you out there - that is one of my favourite rock spots along the eastern suburbs This should get you started. gav
