Fish the north wall in port dennison

Sun, 2008-05-25 14:15

When the winds are up,   The south wall is great if the winds are right

There is a good fishing shop in Dongara, And Port dennison there is a store that sell  bait and little bits of fishing  grear

 Dongara i think is beach fishing only

The marina there is a great spot

You can fish inside or outside depending on the wind. Have a look on the google satellite as there are a few spots north and south of Dongara that look very fishy. S Bend is just to the north and that can be a great spot if the conditions are right.
Good luck, Colin

Only need a 2x2 on that road, But it's fishing off the reef at low tide And low winds too [Reef boots a must]

thanks Colin and Sherbert. Smile 

It is always a huge help when fishing new places to at least get pointed in the right direction.



We dont have any reef boots, might have to look into buying a couple of pair.



Also, any idea what there catching in the Marina up there?



Thanks

Can't beat that.
It is definately worth getting some good reef boots. Nothing worse than ruining a trip by having a slip on the rocks.

Where can i get reef boots

Where can i get reef boots from?

Would my local tackle store have them or do i have to go to a dive shop?

Thanks Sherbs, if the food is any good at the pub, we might be following your way of fishing. Smile

Most good tackle shops will have reef boots

For this time of the year I would be looking at waterproof models as you are likely to get some water on your feet fishing places like flat rocks and the water is bloody cold.
