lukewalker Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hi Team We are heading to Batemans Bay on the weekend and are keen to grab a feed. We dont want to head miles and miles offshore but are more looking for a reef or something nearer the coast. Does anyone have any ideas or GPS marks we could try Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croydon Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hi Luke, Have you fished the area before? As you cross the bar the first island in front of you is Snapper Island. Sound around the left hand side and in front and you should find plenty of slimies for bait. Berley up with some bread and they souldn't take long to show up. Head out and turn north or south just make sure you are outside the sanctuary zones. Find some hard ground and there is plenty, and you should get a good feed of mowies. They are thick at the moment and of good size. The snapper however have been a little slow and hard to find. You don't have to go far, start looking around 25m deep and then move out until you come across the fish. Good luck.......... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheap charlie Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Another option is to fish near the bridge with your live slimey or yakka for jewies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian J Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Can anybody shed some light on the Canyons, ie depth and distance from hanging rock ramp Or if any body has some other spots that would be good for cubing or trolling out of the Bay, I would be more than grateful Or I am happy to take you along Regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
