When people talk about 3 mile reef it generally isn't one particular reef it's the entire section of reef from Trig all the way up to Two Rocks. It is about 3 miles off the shore. Inside the reef is about 10-15 meters deep and outside the reef it drops off to 20 meters or so.
Definetly in the running for some Pinkies or Dhuies. Usually early morning and late afternoon is the best time for them. There was also lots of skippy around last time I fished it. We were catching quite a few small sharks during summer, but they seem to have died down a bit now that it's winter.
Three mile reef is part of a reef chain running from south of Scarborough to beyond two rocks. There are several named reefs in the chain. The "three mile reef" is at 31 46.741 115 40.642. It is roughly 3 miles out from ocean reef boat ramp.

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
