Submitted by Zoggy84 on Tue, 2012-06-26 21:08
Hey just curious whats there to be caught up at Hillarys? Ive seen alot of People young and Old but never actuallly went down and asked whats to be caught. There were lots of ppl just outside of Aqua inside the harbour. Any good or will i be wasting my time? Night time?

Not worth the effort IMO. You
Not worth the effort IMO. You can get herring there pretty much all the time & there's usually whiting getting about but other than that it's really just pot luck. Tailor do show up on the outside of the walls but are sporadic at best. There's more tailor caught from inside the harbour than outside that I've seen. Fishing the jetty in front of Aqua is a lucky dip, you might get tailor, herring, mullet, leatherjacket, flathead etc. Decent fish can be caught at hillaries but you either have to be lucky or you need to have the place sussed out really well to know where & when to be there. IMO there's far better places to fish.
