bassboy888 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) heading up to port stephens on the weekend visiting a mate and was wondering what the fishing is like in nelson bay area at the moment, we will have access to a boat and be using lures hopefully getting a few flatties, bream and whiting. z cheers bassboy Edited December 5, 2011 by bassboy888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Should be a few good flatties around the Karuah River but if i were you i would head up the Myall. Good Whiting flats and plenty of jewies, Bream, Flathead and Flounder too! If you head upstream from the entrance to the river you will eventually come across a series of shrubs sticking out of the water in the middle of the river. Great spot for Bream and Flatties on all tides on SP's and Small hardbodies. The rockwalls that have landbased fisho's on them are a great place to flick for flatties! As you continue down the Myall River on the right hand side you will find a small creek maybe 10 meters wide. Just outside this creek BIG FLATTIES wait and ambush the mullet. Definitely have a flick here! The Singing bridg further upriver holds BIG jewies especially at night on livies or fresh squid. Also some thumper bream around this bridge too. All the mangrove little creeks are worth a look with poppers for Bream too! Good luck! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bream111 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Head across the water to Hawks Nest as well. Some quality flatties have been caught of late. Try fishing the short cut area and between Barnes's Rock and the short cut. Be careful this area at low water can be sanded up pretty bad. One last word of warning make yourself aware of the marine park boundaries they can be confusing for locals and visitors alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassboy888 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 THanks guys for some valuable knowledge, it will go along way in hopefully getting a few fish! Cant wait to head up, hoping the weather is kind to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjc123 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 As Bream111 said, Jimmy's Beach on the Port Stephens sider is great! Flatties on ganged whitebait, SP's and the odd diver. Whiting and Bream around here will take squidgy bloodworm wrigglers and live beach worms. Best Whiting spot in the Port for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
