Bloo62 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hi all. My son recently moved to Newcastle and i have taken the boat up the freeway twice now and put it in at Stockton. Not sure if things are different off Newcastle, but twice out and managed to boat only one just legal flattie. Both times tried numerous drifts off Stockton Beach in depths ranging from 15-45m. This is so unusual for me. Normally even in a new area i can manage fish. Would love any thoughts from locals or people who know the area. cheers, Bloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) I don't know whether this will help you. I fish Newcastle Harbour, early morning or late afternoon. Be aware of the Ships and the Shipping lanes. 7' Rod. 5-8KG 5000 Reel. Sometimes there are large fish. Cheers.

kingie chaser Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 You could also investigate the the north reef area Plus the artificial reef off Swansea- https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/recreational/resources/artificial-reef/newcastle-offshore-artificial-reef If your willing to head out a bit further the DPI FAD counld be worth a try, they usually bring them in for winter & not sure if they have been re depolyed yet but you could ask- https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/recreational/resources/fish-aggregating-devices Also I am not sure on the accuracy of these spots but hey they could be worth investigating as well, just zoom in on the Newcastle area- http://www.ozpolitic.com/fish/map-gps-marks-fishing/Newcastle-N-New-South-Wales-map-gps-marks-fishing.html Good luck 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
