Josh edwards Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Taking the family on a fishing trip to hawkesnest for a couple nights. Wondering where best place to pump yabbies is. Can you get worms at local beach ? and is there any spots close to take kids prawning. Kids are 8 and 9 and mainly only done freshwater fishing thinking of fishing jimmys beach for whiting and flathead are there any other good kid friendly spots to fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) 1st thing to do is to obtain a paper version locally or download the Port Stephens marine park map which will show you where & where not to fish & collect from. Not at home atm but I seem to recall that part of Jimmys is restricted but check the map on that Edited January 4, 2020 by kingie chaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The note In the first picture applies to the yellow zone. I hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerialangler Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hi mate note the pic low tide some good sand flats for yabbies here also keep in mind a full pilchard on jimmys beach light weighted might catch you a good flattie on the run in tide might have to put up with shovel nose shark and banjo sharks as bi catch but keep waiting- you never know Im pretty sure fishing from beach is ok of jimmys beach but by boat it’s not ok might be wrong but so many were fishing from beach day and night when I was there for 3 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
