Chakka Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Hey guys im heading down to callala in a few weeks for a couple of days with the family and staying along the beach with no boat access, so i have fished callala beach before and caught bream, whiting and couple of rays. Was wondering is there anything other these species along this beach are there spot i can catch maybe tailor/salmon in this area besides going into the bay? Any help would be great. Cheers chakka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marks1984 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 get live/fresh nippers and worms for the whiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Signing Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 There are tailor and salmon there but because there isnt much of a break there, they arent in huge numbers. You should also get mullet there. Interestingly there seems to be an increasing amount of sharks to be had so maybe a night fish with a couple of beers on the beach could lead to a bit of fun. If nothing else the banjo, shovelnose and angle rays should keep you entertained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welster Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 In the bay near the ramp it may be worth a shot for some squid. It has been awhile since I was there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welster Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I remember quite a few moored boats not necessarily a sailing club though. Plenty of ribbon weed about. There is a wharf/pontoon near the ramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of sail boats moored there so I’d say you are correct. You would want to fish around the high off the pontoon I’d say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Signing Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Callala bay ramp is one of the most poorly designed i have had the misfortune of using. It is unusable for any boat over around 5.5 m to use on anything but high tide. The jetty itself is about 4 metres away from the ramp leaving a pointless gap and making docking and retrieval difficult for the inexperienced or those fishing alone. Had they taken the ramp out another 30ft it would still be 30ft short of where it needed to be. Two people with good reversing ability will get two trailers side by side down the ramp but the person on the eastern side just wont be able to get out of their car lol All in all quite the shamozzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Hornet Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 If you're keen on chasing prawns you'd be far better off heading over to Lake Wollumboola. As for nippers drive over to Orient Point or the sandflat just upstream of the Crookhaven ramp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
