michaelchen Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Went to fish on Avoca on Thursday. There wasnt many fishermen out at the rocks which was a good thing and i got my fav spot that i wanted. It was also nice seeing a fellow raider RayR. Im so envious finding out that he lives so close to the rock. Anyways didnt catch many big fish that day. only caught 3 boni 1 trev 4 yellowtails 1 unknown fish (ray suggested it was a pike) its so exciting to catch a new type of fish! Me and my girlfriend had fun that day and it rained so we decided to go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poacher Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Mate, If you are enjoying yourself and catching fish then you will go a long way in your fishing career. Avoca is nice without the crowds and turns up some good fish. There are plenty of other goods spots in the area if the crowds get too much for you. Good luck.

michaelchen Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 thanks guys, safety is the key. To me Avoca seems to be more safe then the spots in sdyney. and i will have more reports soon in the summer break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customcasting Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 No wear as safe as you think ,90% of all the death at avoca have happened in less than 2 foot of ne swell .IF YOU GO TO AVOCA AND THERE SURFING THE POINT THINK TWICE BEFOR YOU FISH .the point breakes in a nor east swell .A lot of rock fisherman and women look but dont see what they are looking at this is where they come undone .

Sorry but I can't agree with fishing & having 2.5mtr (8 foot ) waves crashing into me & knocking me backwards, if they can knock you back they can probably knock you forwards,wash your gear & tackle away & before you know it you try & save your tackle & your in the drink,this is probably not the correct practice to encourage. rock fishing can be unpredictable & dangerous even for experienced guys,dont get me wrong I love it but we have enough casualties already.

If you are hit by a 2.5 meter wave on the rocks you are not likly to survive it . i fish in large swells but I know where and when i fish them and what to fish for .
