GreasePit Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 G'day raiders, A trip to Jarvis Bay has just popped up and i'll be going down in a few weeks time. Anyone have any advice on where to fish as i've never been to the area. I'll be landbased and happy to fish off the stones and beaches. Keen to get stuck into some kings and spin for some pelagics (any bonito around this time of year?). Maybe go for a jew off one of the beaches, so if anyone knows of any areas to catch squid or slimies/yakkas that would be a godsend. Any advice and tips would be brilliant. Thanks in advance raiders -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Short Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Have a crack at the ledges on the beecroft peninsula. It's land based game fishing mecca - they get tuna and Marlin off there at this time if year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreasePit Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Holy shamoley Would love to manage a tuna from the stones Probably a little bit undergunned though Regardless I'll give it a crack Cheers for the info mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 As Short said there's some great rock fishing around Beecroft Peninsula. At this time of year there's normally kings, bonito, mack tuna and plenty of frigates about. Other than the kings, a 6kg spin outfit will handle the rest. Its also a good time to throw a metal off the ocean beaches for salmon and tailor plus there should still be the odd jew lurking. If your after some squid for bait, inside the bay is best. Try around Callala Bay or Murrays Beach, just depends on where you're staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreasePit Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 What is your target species deetee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deetee Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Anything really, just looking for some good sport off one of the beaches. I've got a 2 gang hook rig with a running sinker and some salted pilchards. Not sure where to go or how I'll do. Kingfish would be amazing, or flathead, tailor salmon, I'm not fussy! But I need advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I need advice The whole area is a pretty great fishery. Can't go past the tubes, i'd just spin for bonnies and mac's, had a blast with them whilst i was there, caught a few big dirty salmon as by catch which were heaps of fun. You just have to be wary of the swell and the walk down. Use the search function and you should find some info about the area. I'm no expert on JB but from what i've been told and what the local tacklestore owners have said, most of the ocean beaches produce fish. Best of luck mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) Any rocky areas with a bit of kelp around will generally hold a few squid, just be aware of the marine park sanctuary zones. As GreasePit said, the ocean beaches will generally fish better than those inside the bay with your heavier outfit. A good place to start is the beach running between Culburra and Currarong. Tailor, salmon and bream are worth targeting with your salted pilchards. If the ocean beaches are too rough and you don't mind spending a few bucks to get into the national park, the rocks around Murrays Beach are worth a go too.
