Bendalong

Hi Fishos,

Ive returned from a week down the NSW south coast fishing in a social comp out of Bendalong. The fishing was slow with most of the fish caught at the outer reefs 52m mark and further up to 100 metre. Water cold at 16.5 little warmer wider at 17.2.

There is plenty of schools of bait around and a few sharks in close. No snapper to talk about but quality fish caught of Mowong averaging 1.7kg and Flathead 0.8-1.1kg. There where some squire caught but these numbers well short of average catches and no Snapper. There are some big Leather Jackets arround the inner reefs.

While at Bendalong I had the nchance to catch up with a few locals who tell me that there are squid around the nth side of Red Head in the nfirst 500 metres from the boat ramp and a few Jews have been taken of the beaches. Dead cuttle fish are also starting to appear on the surface.

I also had the chance to fish south JB and i can report not a lot of action some Tuna working bait schools and Samon heading Nth and plenty of whales, water temp 18.7.

I can recommend staying at the Bendalong Carravan Park Julie and Brent manage a great park with excellant cabins. The ramp is on the beach at low tide and can make retreval difficult so 4x4 is required,,

Happy Fishing,,
