Fishing At The Central Coast
Fishermen and fish anglers have enough reason to cheer about the
Central Coast. It is well-known as angler’s paradise and offers
excellent fishing opportunities that vary from rock and surf fishing
along the coastline to angling at multiple lakes, estuary and river
systems. Let’s have a sneak peek of some of the best fishing locations
of Central Coast.
Lake Munmorah - Lake Munmorah at the Northern end of the Central
Coast offers excellent fishing opportunities for angling enthusiasts.
This lake acts as a perfect venue for varieties like beam, tailor and
flathead. The Munmorah power station regarded as the prime spot for
fishing can yield a variety of fish including luderick, trevally, bream,
long Tom and tailor. At the south end of the lake you can also find big
catch like Bream, luderick and tarwhine.
 Norah head - Norah head comes as a perfect venue for the
enthusiastic and fervent anglers. This acts as a perfect venue for the
pelagic varieties such as tailor and tuna as well as snapper, gropper,
rock blackfish and drummer that are attracted to the rocky washes and
gutters. Well, to the north along the Birdie beach you will find good
surf fishing for Tailor. For outside fishing, you can avail an ocean
boat ramp, located at the cabbage tree harbor.
Budgewoi Lake - Budgewoi Lake is a very popular spot in the North
West corner. The lake is synonymous with the Bream catch. This is the
place where heated waters are expelled and this attracts a range of
species including tailor, whiting, flathead, luderick and bream in big
numbers. To the west of the lake, you will find Wallarah Creek that
works particularly well when the lake roughs up attracting bream and
luderick.
The Entrance - The Entrance comes as a channel where the Tuggerah
lake system meets the Pacific Ocean. The channel is also known for its
prawn runs. As it flows fast, prawning is usually done when the tide is
slack or turning. East of the entrance bridge is a top spot, drifting
for bream, flathead and whiting while the west of the Pelican island
stand a chance of landing large flathead that lie in wait for their prey
on the edge of the channel. On the other hand, North entrance breach
serves as a good spot for whiting and tailor during their runs.
Wamberal beach - Tailor, bream and flathead are the targets at
the Wamberal beach. The entrance of Wamberal lagoon attracts large
mulloway and tailor waiting the flushing of baitfish out to the sea.
Things to remember while you go fishing at Central Coast
- When fishing in NSW waters, both fresh and salt water you
are required by law to carry a NSW fishing license.
- As there are size limits, anglers often engage themselves in
catching fish which by law must be returned to the water. Anglers
can also join tag and release programs too.
- While measuring a fish, whether it is fork-tailed or round
tailed, it is taken from the snout on the upper jaw to the end of
the tail.
