BAY AND BASIN SPORTSFISHING TOURS & LOCATIONS. ST GEORGES BASIN - 10minutes south of Jervis Bay and linked to the sea by the Sussex Inlet River is the “Basin”. With the removal of commercial fishing in 2002 as part of the establishment of 24 recreational fishing haven’s along the NSW coastline, the Basin is by far one of NSW most productive recreational fisheries. You have a very good chance at catching a monster 90cm plus flathead, 60cm plus tailor, bream, mulloway, trevally, and pan sized snapper to 45cm are also a regular catch. A small but elusive population of bass and estuary perch inhabit the upper reaches of Wandandian Ck. This system is our first choice for most tours. JERVIS BAY – Enjoy the stunning natural beauty of the Jervis Bay Marine Park as we target king fish, snapper, flathead, hard fighting Australian salmon and during the warmer months from Dec – May a very real opportunity of hooking small black marlin near the world famous torpedo tubes. Once again with the removal of the majority of commercial fishing from the bay in 1998 when the marine park was established the bay has been given a chance to regenerate and on it’s day rivals any sportfishing destination in the world. SHOALHAVEN RIVER BASS , ESTUARY PERCH and MONSTER CARP – The navigable waters of the Shoalhaven River winds it way from the entrance at Crookhaven Heads to Grady’s Riverside Retreat, then meanders on to the Tallowa Dam, and then beyond towards Braidwood west of Batemans Bay. The enigmatic bass and estuary perch tend to be a more viable target during the spring and summer months, particulary bass in the height of summer when the barometer is 1020 and the cicada’s are singing on the tree’s. The deeper holes will hold schools of mulloway and bream and flathead throughout the system. Salmon and tailor also viable option. LAKE CONJOLA/ BERRINGER LAKE – Another recreational fishing haven this system enters the sea just south of Green Is near the village of Lake Conjola about 20mins north of the town of Ulludulla. Shallow sand flats drain into a deeper basin with shallow feeder creeks and all the usual species are present. NSW Dept of primary Industries has recently created an artificial reef to increase fish habitat (along with the Basin). CLYDE RIVER BATEMANS BAY – A recent addition the NSW Marine Park program through the establishment of the Batemans Bay Marine park, the Clyde River is one of the “Jewel’s of the south coast”. At 110km in length with around 40km of navigable salt water, there are some deep holes that hole good populations of the mighty mulloway, with bass and EP populations in the upper reaches. You need a day tour to experience this one. OTHER OPTIONS AND GAMEFISHING– Your guide has over 15 years experience fishing this coastline and has a few other less populated and less accessable systems that are targeted with the right conditions. Gamefishing charters can be arranged upon request. View Larger Map
