PaddyT Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Mugs Rock at Avoca (first low bit of the platform) usually has tailor at dawn - fish are usually gone as soon as the sun pops up, its low to the water so a short rod is more than usable (used to spin it all the time with a flick stick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca02 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 +1 for avoca for a short rod. You can get a decent 9ft graphite rod for $100ish dollars - this will make your life easier on the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a decent 9ft graphite rod for $100ish dollars - this will make your life easier on the rocks. I agree with both points here, Avoca is good for short rods. I bought a Starlo Jungle Stix for $90 (9ft, 2-piece graphite) and it's fantastic. Cheers, Wellzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtown Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 There is nothing better than going in search of a new fishing spot,be it salt or fresh water. Jump in the car and have a look , its only 5 minutes to avova platform from terrigal . Its a beautiful walk as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyT Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Walk towards the rocks from the surf club and you will go down into a small gully with lots of boulders and a high rock on the left- thats Mugs, but with a short rod its easier to go a bit further and fish the first low ledge - cleats can be a good idea as it can have weed and slime growth- its about a 50 meter walk from the surfclub. The next little ledge is called "Picketts" and is really only a low tide option, then the "front" is the main ledge all the way round to the "gulf"- big rock channel at the end of the main ledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
