PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant VBA_SCRIPT - assumed 'VBA_SCRIPT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_navigation.php(802) : eval()'d code on line 1 Advice for Coff's
I've got 3 days at Boambee Bay at Coff's the weekend of the 10th of September. Any advice would be appreciated. At this stage planning to throw some sp's and pump some yabbies and work the headland and outfall section of the beach.
What approach to times of day and stage of tide would be best. Will be land based but may have access to a small general purpose canoe for the creek.
i lived in coffs harbour for about a year, and from my time fishing there (land basede) the most success i had was fishing a creek just slightly south of park beach. I fished along the rock wall (tides i'm not sure about, however if the tide is to low, there is very little water in the creek, also, no run, no fun) for black bream (luderick), pretty simple on a low tide climb down the rocks on any of the headlands and collect some cabbage (which acuatlly freezes really well) bait up your very small hooks and cast your float into the eddies that are created by the rock wall. they come on the chew this time of the year and there are some absolute monsters in amognst them!! i found it very hard to find some small hooks that were strong enough to not straighten out the hooks.
My other reccommendation is out on/around the sawtell headland, south of the rocks there is a little island that has formed about 50-100m off of the beach, with your surf gear there are some very big whiting that patrol this stretch of beach.
If you are into free-diving and spear fishing, all the rocky headlands hold good numbers of fish, that aren't touchable by anglers.
We have had a nice little fresh in the last few days which should be in your favour. Most of the dirty water will have cleared by then, but the mouths of creeks will still be hot spots on the last couple of hours of the run-out, and first couple of hours of the run-in.
Personally I would fish the dark time before the full moon rises, adjacent to the creek mouth at Boambee, with whole squid for tailor or mulloway. Either from the beach or from the rocks opposite, depending on the location of the most suitable beach formations. There is good fishing for flatties and whiting in the creek, prob best with some water coming into it, also for blackfish off the rocks adjacent. Look for other anglers and follow their lead.
Might be some good surf, if you are into it, banks at 'Trapdoors' should be ok after the fresh.
Also read Fisher4lifes advice for some variety of options.
You should be able to have a good time, flathead should be on the prowl by then, give your SPs ago from the canoe!
Cheers and best wishes.
thats my home creek boambee can see it from mym place as mentioned weve had a lot of rain of late the creek is all brown but should be clean n fresh by the time the weekend rocks around for some flathead whiting and bream but the beach gutters are probly going to be more productive plenty of australian salmon around at the moment and a chance for a nice jewie taylor and bream also in beach gutters
