Novice headed to Batemans Bay

[PeteDavo23]

G'day all,

I've just joined the forums and am pretty new to fishing (only wet a line a couple of times a year) but looking at getting into it a lot more seriously. I'm headed to Batemans Bay in mid-October and was wondering if any gurus on here had any tips/advice. I'll be doing both land and boat fishing, but staying inside the bay and the Clyde.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Pete

G'day Pete,

I'm not a local but a little further south the Moruya break wall is a popular land based spot. It's been a few years since I fished it but we used to do ok on the salmon and Taylor there.

Cheers,

Chris.

Cheers Chris, might look into it, if I can find a way for the missus and kids to be occupied for a few hours.

If you have a boat try drifting under the bridge, use a live bait if you can get some.

Good Luck

Cheers

if its calm, between snapper island and the toll gates is a good drift for flatheads, there is some gravel in front of snapper I have caught whiting and bream with nippers.

soft plastics through the bridge and bream under the power lines up river a bit for bream and jewies.

im heading down for the long weekend, lookout for a report see if what I tell you is worth while or not

Thanks for the info guys, I'll give it all a bit of a go. Hopefully I can post some successful pics in here after the trip.
