Conjola Trip

[tallman]

Hi raiders,

I like the site, I've been lurking for a long time but now decided to join in the fun

I'm mad into my bream fishing at the moment, personally I release all of them

but that's just a personal decision and I don't impose my views on anyone else,

I've butchered many butcheris and yellowfin before but to me there are tastier fish out there

For the Easter break my friend and I are heading down to the south coast to chase black bream

We are going to stay at a relative's place in Fisherman's Paradise

I'm wondering if anyone could point us in the right direction for some breaming

All our fishing is land based and we are scouting out spots on google earth as I type this post

P.S I don't want my certate to go anywhere near the sand lol

Cheers

Any help is more than appreciated and I'll definitely let you guys know how I go

Oh and most of the fishing will be with bait.

I use lures as well but my mate is quite new to fishing

Seeing as the water looks pretty dirty up the back of the lake,

I'm thinking prawns, bread or wormies would be the way to go

One last question, are you allowed to pump nippers?

[tallman]

Hi Bud,

You can pump nippers.You can also buy at Wandandin tackle store on the Hway worms and nippers.You would need a 4 wd to get the nippers where I get them on the Manyana side of Conjola lake near the eastern side mouth of Berringer.

Fishermans Paradise itself has plenty of spots on the shore to chase bream.There are easements behind all the houses on the creek that you can access. Another spot for bream is in the coastal lagoons and creeks near Bendalong. If you get onto Google World go from Bendalong heading north.There is a road that heads towards Flat Rock and then stops short of Monument Beach due to a coastal lagoon.The last part is actually a service track following the electrical easement but is 2 wd accessible.This fishes well by lures or bait and on the way there you will pass over a little creek near flat rock and bream are also in there.

Thankyou very much for your advice Rads

Both landlocked lagoons you mentioned look prime for the exact type of fishing we enjoy

A spot we will definitely be trying a couple of times is that key near Aney Street and Boeing Avenue near the Conjola camping site.

Looks to me like the bream would come into here at some stage of the tide and it looks protected incase the wind picks up..

If only that big pond at the end of the keys was accessible.. That looks like a prime mud crab spot

On the drive down we will be crossing a few creeks and you guessed it, the rods will come out.

We'll be going via the Hume and then down through there rather than taking the coastal route (traffic, traffic lights - peak season)

Pit-stops to try:

The feeder creek that begins at Bomaderry, conveniently right in Nowra where we can pick up extra supplies.

The back of the feeder creek on the west end of St Georges basin

Any more pointers from anyone are welcomes with open arms.

Thanks
