Bombah Broadwater

[Niall]

Hi Everyone,

I had an excellent couple of days fishing in Bombah Broadwater a couple of weeks back and am heading up again in a couple of weeks for round two.  I managed to get two big flathead (60+) and two massive bream (35+) in the space of a a couple of hours last time - I was with the Mrs so couldn't fish all day.  I just waded in and was casting a big 12cm shallow swimming hardbody.  It was probably some of the best fishing I've had.

So how come everything I read says that the area is rubbish for fishing?  Have I just fluked it that day?  Am I possibly wasting my time going back?

Also this time round I was thinking of bringing a couple of crab traps.  Anyone had any success on the Bombah Broadwater with crabs before?

Cheers,

Niall

It's happening regardless of my misgivings and I'm pretty pumped for another session.  I guess if it's not happening  we can head for closer to Port Stephens - only a short drive from the camp site.  

It's just weird that the online consensus seems to be "Don't waste your time."

MY thing is you have to be on the water to get fish

Truer words have never been spoken mate.  I'll let you know how it goes!
