Orange roughy Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hi all, I am Sydney based but have been starting to fish a bit more on the MNC as my wife's family are from up that way and we have been heading up more regularly. I have been heading out from Crowdy Head and doing ok, a few flathead, snapper, occasional Pearlie. I have been slowly gathering marks each trip, using the sounder to identify and tag any potential spots mainly along the depth contours. Would anyone have some tips/marks they would be willing to share for this area? The most success I seem to have is drifting over inshore reefs(30-40m) a bit slower with the sea anchor. I haven't ventured too far wide just yet, as there is a lot of ocean out there. Greatly appreciate any tips. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 go to the Marine Rescue on the breakwall in town and you can buy a small local laminated chart for about $10/15 and it has heaps of GPS marks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange roughy Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Yeah, I never have an issue with Flatty up there. Trying to un lock the secrets to consistent snapper and pearlies. Work in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
