noelm Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Buy/catch some beach worms, use the lightest rod and fish the ends of any beach for Whiting. Plenty of Squid to be had casting out to the ribbon weed beds. flathead lurk on most beaches too, walking along spinning will get a couple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Hornet Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 @noelm has given you the best advice. About the only thing I could add is if you’re into sharks, there’s plenty of smallish, bronze whalers in close off the Jervis Bay beaches at this time of year. Early and late in the day is the best time for them using any kind of fish bait like pilchards or a mullet fillet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazzs248 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 I’ve never really caught sharks but I’ll give it a go so I’ll try pilchards and mullet fillets. Thanks for the advice everyone it means a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekstyle Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Try Murrays boat ramp and plantation point for squid, that’s were I used to get plenty 10 plus years ago when I used to go down to vincentia regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekstyle Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Also, if you’re after Tailor and Salmon we used to get plenty of the headland at the end of caves beach via a bush track. The rocks nearest to the stairs at Steamers Beach also used to be a hot spot for those species. I have some other spots that are a bit dangerous and requires a hike to get to but those two should get you started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazzs248 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 I’m based at Vincentia so plantation point I’ll give a go for squid and rock fishing I’m a complete newbie so not too sure I’ll check the weather and swell but yeah if it’s a safe spot I’ll give a go.

greekstyle Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 It’s pretty safe mate, just cast off the rocks into the weed beds. Looks for spots of weed and sand rather than just thick weed. Honestly, take the 2km walk to Steamers and you will bag out on salmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget the beach worms, long shank, small hook, light line and a small sinker to fish the beaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglesilk5 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) You can try the outer tubes. I went there recently using prawns and I caught some legal trevally and leather jackets. Also there were yellowtail and lots of baitfish everywhere. Edited January 19 by eaglesilk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fried Rice Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Nice catch, well done. If you are trying different spots just be careful of the sanctuary zones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greekstyle Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 How did you go with the whiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much luck had about an hour of fishing tweed bait worms (nothing against them just think fresh or live bait is best) and went to cave beach (still learning how to read the beaches also found this one very flat) and yeah but next time I’ll come more prepared and try inside the bay. I’m still a beginner at fishing and still learning but the advice for the squid really helped guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
