juicy233 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Hi All, My family and I are heading down to hat Head in a couple weeks time and having recently picked up fishing, I was stoked to realize that hat Head is an amazing spot for fishing. Over the past 10 years or so my dad and I had the occasional flick in the creek with some bait which has produced some great memories however I'd love to hear about some other spots or how specifically to fish the creek with lures and get onto some big bream or anything that will take my lure. I've done some research on fishing the rocks that surround the headland however am wondering if it's a dangerous endeavour to tackle those rocks as a newbie fisherman and if there are any safe rockfishing spots around hat head. If anyone has any advice on bait, lures location, tides and really any info to help me get onto some fish in hat head it would be greatly appreciated đ đ.

Hoods Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 A bit late in the season but google/utube Ron Calcutt - land based spining at HH. This time of year you are more likely to target Tailor on spinners or ganged pillies. Read hereabouts any rock fishing can be dangerous, however HHead in winter with no northerly swell is likely to be much more acceptable. Ask the local like at SWR Tackle shops for news/advice. Don't forget the beach options Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickmarlin62 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 There are very large flattys in creek  check sandbanks for lay marks on low tide then fish those areas on high tide nippers are go to bait also live poddy mullet  summer there are lots of muddys but too cold now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicy233 Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 thanks for the advice, I've seen humungous flatties in the creek before while on a paddbleboard, the biggest probably 80cm. I'll definitely give that a go. I've got a yabby pump and have used them before so I'll try that out. just one other question, do you think yabbies (nippers) would work in the surf? I've got a paddleboard and a little brother willing to paddle some baits out past the waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmarlin62 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Nippers work well in surf  no need to paddle baits out fish are in the gutters  sometimes at your feet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
