Is there anything worthwhile chasing near Ulladulla land-based?

[Offtherockss]

Have a family trip booked at Ulladulla soon. And I really have to move as a team since the purpose of this trip is not entirely focused on fishing. I'd love to hit up the ledges at jervis bay on the way to try for some pelagics but I don't think others in my family appreciate that (since they are mostly non-fishos ). But luckily I think I will have the evening of one of the days to actually fish.  

My first question is whether there are any fish species that I can reliably chase near Ulladulla that I cannot reliably target in Sydney? Would be a tiny bit disappointed if the only things on the table are the usual estuary species such as flatties and bream lol. 

And are there any good spots? So far I am looking at the rocks north of Mollymook beach and the platforms below warden head lighthouse. Would love spots where I can get a shot at legal snappers and some kingies.

Snapper and Kingfish from the rocks are usually not "tourist" species (in my opinion) they require a pretty good knowledge of the area and reasonably specialised gear. Bream and so on should be easy enough to catch, require just a bit of investigation and simple gear, Tailor and Salmon should be OK off the beaches (good for families)

Honestly, I would just bring my squid gear only in that situation. Very limited time to fish, cant be sure if I could fish. Squid gear takes little space, light weight and easy to lug around, so you can be a lot more mobile in an unknown environment.

The squid down there is a lot more fun and have a far high probability of finding, especially that you mention you're chance is in the evening. Also looking at google maps in satellite view, the weed patches are easy to find. Too many advantages, only thing I would say, is that, not everyone is into squiding so I am not sure if its your thing.

The water around Ulladulla's rock fishing spots is fairly shallow and its mostly the usual bread and butter species unless there's been a decent blow and swell that can bring the snapper in close. That being said there's some great ludrick spots around and they're fishing well at the moment.

If you can travel a little further south you could try for a snapper or king off the east side of Tabourie Island, but often you can only access it on low tide. Its also a good spot to have a throw for a big groper or drummer.

Still nothing exotic, but its a good time of year to chase big whiting and flathead in Burrill Lake as well.

By tabouri island are you referring to crampton island? I searched it up on youtube and it looks promising.

WIll the beach be crossable on high tide? How deep will the water be at high tide.

Yes Crampton Island sorry, I've just always known it as Tabourie and didn't think.

The walk out there is always changing and unpredictable.

If unsure and you can't check it out prior, its best to plan a trip 2 hours either side of low tide.
