wannabefisho Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Patonga mate is the GO, its close to Broken Bay and there's a caravan park there- you gotta book in advance though as it gets pretty crowded during school holidays. Else I'd likey go to Umina which is on the way to Patonga- there's a BIG4 cara park there aswell... both great spots nice and quiet, and some good fishing available. Other suggestions- Kiama and Nowra areas have some nice little spots etched into the escarpment, there's plenty of caravan parks for you to book into and some have beaches @ the doorstep- and if you are so inclined there's charters for reef fish also available. Hope this helps. Good luck in the search Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRED-ATOR Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 the basin is a really good spot for camping and fishing. Not very big fish but you go get alot of legal bream and snapper from the rocks and beach along with whiting. There are massive rays in the tidal river inlet though. Last time i was there it was shark netted off so everythings in there looks stuck in there which probably explains the massive rays. you can collect some nippers there and fish with them. Also they have showrs (cold water) and a nice bushwalking trail i think its 2km up the mountain. Dont leave food out there are MASSIVE goannas and feral possums there and will clean you out lol. We seen 2 possums punch on last time we were there and one of em like ripped half the face off the other one Good luck mate hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Cheers for the great replies fellas this patonga place sounds great, will definately be doing a bit of research on the place, any idea if you can hire little tinnies up there for the day? Would love to fish out of a boat as I've only ever done it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
