I'm looking to head up to Crowdy Head for a few days in the next couple of weeks. I'll head offshore if weather permits. Any tips from fellow raiders, I've not been in the area before.

what are you fishing for crowdy is one off my fav spots cheers gary

I'll have a few days to try things out. Definitely want to hit some snapper, pearls, kings. If there's something I should definitely chase (ie pelagics) then I'm happy to hear about it.

firstly drop into coastgard at the end off the break wall in harrington and pick up the local map it has all the gps marks on the back with all the relevent wrecks and reefs on it

snapper'' as you leave crowdy ramp head north west for a good 600meters to avoid a bommy then straight out in fount off the light house in 40 to 70 meters prime snapper grounds best bait fresh squid from the local co op but half pillys work well to

mermaid reef is also a good spot but not in a swell as it gets shallow very quick more a spot for the sp's boys

wide off mermaid is a fad in 50 or so meters hot spot for dollys and between the fad and mermaid is also good snapper grounds also perlys there

trolling with the warm water hitting crowdy now anything is possable set your spread early and work the birds straight out from the light house we usuly troll wide then north and head back in to the fad then back to the ramp we have picked up stripped marlin near the fad and wahoo 100 meters from the boatramp so leave your lures out all the way home

sharks berlying for snapper will bring the sharks in around 9am there a pest so start early for snapper and move as soon as the shark show up if you like shark fishing start in 50 meters off harrington fishing for flattys and move wide in 10meter hops till you find the good size flattys usuly between 50 to 70 meters abit off berly and your in shark mecca one off the mako hot spots on the east coast but if your new to shark fishing do'nt berly and piss off when you start loosing flathead

that should keep you busy also NEVER CROSS THE BAR at harrington go to crowdy not worth your boat or your life good luck and have a great time cheers gary

Yep everything Brickman said, particulary

about the bommy near the boat harbour entry. At times it can break right across the entrance so head in slowly and if its breaking pick a safe time between sets to head in. Theres plenty of parking as well. Enjoy your trip and keep us posted :)
