Hi John,
There are great camp grounds on the river at both Hastings Point and Pottsville. As for fishing, we haven't had much luck locally, only small stuff. A friend does ok under the Black Rocks bridge using bait, you've got good chance of a flattie there. If your into rock fishing Aussiefool fishes Hasting a couple of times week and may give you a heads up. As Chliders said above the beach fishing can be pretty good to.
Good luck!! Cheers Kim.

Moobal Creek has some good size flathead at times and is a good place to learn how to use plastics.
Try around the mouth in amongst the coffee rock and past the bridge up towards black rock can hold good fish as well.
Good luck with the flatties,

We went down there at Easter for the morning (might be the same creek that Leeroy1 is talking about).. Fished down towards the mouth,, they wouldn't touch plastic's but i caught 2 good Bream 29cm & 1 flathead 42cm on prawns Lots of little Bream ,, Good fun on light gear..All released

Very nice posts girls and guys,

I too am thinking of going down that way at the end of April for a day or two and see if I can get a fish or two from the beach, rocks and try for flattie.

Cheers, Peter
