1. Jervis Bay Marine Park
Go fishing at Jervis Bay Marine Park, which covers about 100km of coastline from Kinghorn Point south to Bherwerre Beach encompassing the township of Currarong, the whole of Jervis Bay itself and Wreck Bay. Approximately 80% of JBMP permits recreational fishing, with the exception of sanctuary zones where no fishing is allowed.
2. Booderee National Park
Crystal-clear waters meet beautiful white sand beaches at Booderee National Park, where line fishing is popular and there are many species to look out for, including Australian salmon, flathead, and mackerel, perfect for a BBQ dinner at one of Professional Holiday Homes’ beautiful Jervis Bay properties. As this is a national park, be aware of restrictions and make sure you bring your bait and leave your spear guns at home.
3. Moe’s Rock
If you don’t mind a rocky path and you can visit on a calm beach day, take your lines down to Moe’s Rock, a stunning spot facing out onto the South Pacific Ocean, just a short walk from a nearby car park. The views at sunrise and sunset will be absolutely stunning, and the walk to get to the spot is a miniature jungle like experience that offers great views of Cape St George Historic Lighthouse.
4. Boat Harbour
A highly-rated local fishing spot is the Boat Harbour, a protected inlet on the Beecroft Peninsula; the northern arm of Jervis Bay. The cliffsides surrounding the area are beyond photo-worthy, and if you throw a rod out into these waters you might experience peace like you’ve never known it before. Beecroft Peninsula is home to beautiful Currarong village, idyllic Honeymoon Bay and Point Perpendicular Lighthouse, not to mention cliffs up to 80m high, so even if you don’t catch anything, there’s plenty to see.
5. Plantation Point
Just north of Hyams Beach is Plantation Point, a great family fishing option if you’re looking to make a day of it: the seagrass beds along the reef are an especially great fishing spot for those looking to do a little squid fishing, and it’s a great land-based spot to spend a day fishing for bream, flounder and flathead to name just a few.
