sam_chamoun93 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Went for a walk today around South Maroubra looking some spots I have read about... Little greeny, Greeny, The Blessings, and the furthest point on the Maroubra/ Malabar headland. It was a good trek in the sun, but I found most of these would be very dangerous in any sort of swell. A few plaques there serve as a constant reminder of the dangers we sometimes put ourselves in. A lot of the safer cliffs have long drops too, so it would be a hard haul up the face. One spot I couldn't find was the blessings. Just wanted to know where it is along this headland. south maroubra.bmp I have read that it is about a 10m drop. protected from any s-s/e swell, and that there is lots of rubbish there now Couldn't find any spot matching the description, or an angel ring marking it's location. The red line is the path I took, and the yellow line is the general area where I think the spot is. If anyone could mark it, or send me a pm it would be greatly appreciated.

bharris Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I think alot of south maroubra is no bait fishing because of the grey nerse shark breeding zones Sent from my GT-I9100T using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam_chamoun93 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks for clearing that up. What a bummer!!!! Might have to invest in a few more chrome slugs. Any recommendations for high up cliff faces in the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam_chamoun93 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Sounds like a bit of overkill. Not sure of the reasoning behind 'bait free' areas. If anyone could enlighten me it would be great. I mean sure it might be effective in cases of serious recreational overfishing. But I don't understand the protected shark habitat thing.
