T_Bert83 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) We arrived at Murramarang Resort just after lunch Friday afternoon and as the kids had a swim I chatted to an old fella who had been fishing there over the last few days catching a decent Gummy Shark and a few nice bream. On hearing that it was time for a fish. We fished the late afternoon high tide and landed 3 salmon on pilchards before calling it a night. Saturday morning was a sleep in for me which I regretted when woken up by @jmk086 showing off 3 quality squid. The rest of the day was spent with the kids fishing and swimming landing a few small flathead, trevally and some little stingrays. We fished the evening high tide again but unfortunately the fish didn't play the game and didn't land a fish. Sunday morning was an early start as I wasn't missing out on the squid action again. We managed a couple of squid for the session and I got bitten off when casting a metal slug to fish busting on the surface near our rock ledge. More fishing with the kids throughout the day for more little flathead and rays. Overall nothing too exciting but enough to keep the kids entertained.

JonD Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 It's a great spot, infact I did the resorts photographic advertising, so know all the accomodation very well. Big snapper can be had off the rocks and just out the front on yaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Bert83 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 We scored some great weather @Blackfish even when it rained it wasn’t cold. I love that photo Jake was pretty excited about his flathead. Thanks @masterfisho7 yeah it was a great trip. Cheers @Scratchie kids absolutely loved it. Already organising a return trip. Spot on @GoingFishing such a good place nice safe beach for kids to swim while we fished and had a few beers and a yarn. @JonD sure is a great spot mate couldn’t recommend it enough for anyone wanting a family getaway. So good having everything you need so close to a beach you can swim/ fish safely with young kids. With good options for a serious fish close by if you get the chance. I did hear there were some decent fish to be had close by so hopefully next trip I might get to have more of a look around 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how long your staying there but out the front beach in front of cabins right down in the southern corner there is a gutter that runs sort of towards the top island. Late afternoon dusk into early evening the best time. We have over the years caught some good reddies off Wasp Head. I just had two weeks down there with my boat. Worst fishing I have had there for many years. A least there are still tons of flathead in bay area to feed the gang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Bert83 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hi @shakey55 we were just there for the weekend mate. Our fishing was limited to the beach and rocks in front of the cabins. We didn't catch much but enough to keep the kids happy. Hopefully you get amongst them next time you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
