Fishing Coral Bay
Submitted by Paully on Sat, 2010-01-16 15:56
Gday, I just wanted to get some thoughts on shore based fishing in Coral Bay. I am going up there, although not for a few months yet and am keen to give the SP's a go on the flats, and any other suitable lure. I have heard that Thread fin Salmon can be caught of the beach in the Point Maud area (Not sure about that, didn't think they would be so far south?) Any advice Re lures/species would be much appreciated.
Cheers

I think the threadfin may be
I think the threadfin may be striped threadfin which arent as large or as tasty as their commonly known cousins up north, the king threadfin.

different types
Different types of threadfin, your probably thinking of giant threadfin as they are more north typically. We get a heap of bluenose threaddies in the Exmouth creeks and there are just standard threadies along the beaches. Try put in a search for Coral Bay - theres been heaps of these threads and some pretty valuable info over the years (stories of success and general info)

coral bay
yer last time i was up there we did quite well off mauds landing one day we got 4 small thread fin salmon, 2 dart and 1 small gt, that was all caught on bait in about 1 hour and half of fishing, the same day there were some guys next to us fishing that were getting queenies aswell. I also know that you can get some good spangled emperor, queenies, trevs and many more species of the beach on the south side of coral bay past monks head were you are allowed to fish.
hope that helps mate, good luck

Thanks Everyone
I did spend some time near the five finger reef one day/afternoon. Saw plenty of large spanglies, couldn't get one of them to feed though
so I will be looking down there again and along the beaches. Thanks again
