Formosan Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Hi guys.. Had a camping holiday over xmas on the clyde river.near batemans bay. Got into some breams and whiting but not in big numbers. Probably lack of skills in that style of fishing. Decided to launch at batemans bay and look around. first time fishing this area. found some reefy area and flick some gulps. Got a good take at first i thought it was a king. but happy to see red. my cousin and I ended up with a few snappers for xmas dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paikea Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Lovely fish, great dinner. Did you venture out as far as the Tollgate islands? Boat looks good, what is it? Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike. Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Awesome work mate especially given that you have never fished that spot before and caught your target fish!! Must have been all that practice this year. Some great reds there, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formosan Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Lovely fish, great dinner. Did you venture out as far as the Tollgate islands? Boat looks good, what is it? Cheers Paikea Thanks mate. There are quite a few Santuary zones and especially around toll gate island so I steered clear of them and head north to Durras. I got the fish near wasp Island close to Durras. It seemed the only options for Batemans' bay, are either head north of south of it. The boat is a Formosa 520.
