Submitted by Fletch72 on Thu, 2014-04-24 19:43
Ive been in oz for near a year now, ive got a 12ft tinnie and if the sea is right i wouldnt mind getting out to the 3 mile reef from ocean reef.
ive caught a few carpet sharks from the rocks and a stingray from my jet ski, whiting and 2 tailor, im now looking for the next step, maybe a snapper and a gummy. Ive bought some garfish from bcf for tomorrow. The thing is what can i catch with them conccidering my set up, ive got some squid also what i caught but i do like eating them lol.
Any help or advice would be welcome.

3 Mile
Fletch,
I am new as well. Have a look at my recent post - The Second Post 3 Mile Experiences. Search for it and hopefully this will help you.

Ability is what you are capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it - LH.

Fletch, when I first fished
Fletch, when I first fished out of ocean reef in my first boat (14ft runabout with a 55hp outboard) I started at Burns Rock which is only a short distance from the ramp. Pretty good place to learn the local tides, swells etc. Believe it or not, my dad caught a 60cm snapper about 100m outside burns rock! So yes, decent fish can be caught in shallow water.
I'm also heading out tomorrow. Will be at the ramp around 6am and trying out some areas between 3mile and direction bank.
A fish in the hand is worth 10 in the water!
