paulthetaffy Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hi raiders, Im off up to Byron Bay for a week soon with family. We're lucky enough to have hired a beach house right on Tallow Beach so with water at my feet I just *have* to take a rod Now I don't think I'm going to be able to spend much time fishing due to being there with family but there's a good chance of getting out for an hour in the mornings before breakfast. So can anyone tell me what it's like up there? Is is worth throwing slices for salmon, plastics for flathead & bream, poppers for whiting, or just plain old surf bait fishing (bearing in mind I'll be walking from the house so no driving out to the headland etc)? I'm hoping lures are the go so I don't have to think about getting/storing/smelling of bait Any info appreciated! Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewhunter Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 All the beaches were fishing quite well before the fresh with plenty of nice tailor around. Just make sure you check out all of the marine park zonings. I live up this way but don't bother fishing Byron Bay as I can't make heads or tails of where I can & can't fish. They are heavily enforced as well. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulthetaffy Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Sounds good. I'm not there for a few weeks yet so hopefully things will settle down after all the rain. I had read about the marine park but thankfully I think that is further up towards the north end of Tallow beach near the headland. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle ray Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 You will find jew on Tallows. I havent caught them however I have seen the frames lying in the sand from the lucky buggers that have. Right up in the northern end. Catch tailor and put it out live. The north Wall at bruns might be worth a shot after all the rain. I caught lots of chopper tailer at Belongil on pippies in october. Be aware of the marine park gestapo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
