Blarghent Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Hey there raiders, I'm heading down to lake conjola next weekend and was hoping to get a feel from the locals as to what is biting. I'll be bringing the yak down so I'll be looking to explore the lake a bit more than my previous trips around the entrance. In the past I've had bites from tiny whiting and a few legal flounder in that spot but was hoping to hear that there are still some good flattys around or even some sizable salmon and tailor. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paikea Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 See attached map of the Lake for spots to fish. Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy-livin Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I was down at my van a few weeks back and went for a cruise on the boat, The sand bar across from lakeside park was holding some good size flatties One bloke said he saw two monsters!!. Then a westery blew up big time and I had to put the boat out. Was a good 40 min on the water tho hah Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish1999 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I fished there for a bit in the school holidays. I was walking the flats and covered quite a bit of ground didn't get a bite or see a fish. If your landbased watch where you are walking lots of small stingrays about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghent Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks for the heads up One more thing I forgot to ask is if the lake is open to the sea at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy-livin Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 3 weeks ago it was open but not much at all there's a lot of sand build up on the lake side as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish1999 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 When I went last week there wasn't but the tides weren't that big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghent Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Hey guys just a quick update. Unfortunately no fish were caught this weekend as I only had limited time one the water. I ended up yakking to where Berringer lake joins Conjola and saw a few flatties but none were interested in what I was throwing at them, possibly because of the 3 sea eagles circling quite close overhead... I had a few bites off the beach where the lake meets the ocean but no solid connections. Was still a beautiful day fishing and got to watch a family of whales frolicking while I was there. For those heading down there soon the lake entrance is closed to the sea at the moment so tides are a non issue but large expanses are even too shallow for a kayak. Hopefully next trip is a bit more fruitful although just being down there is enough to make anyone happy.

Blarghent Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Nah mate still bring your boat, just launch at bendalong beach. That's what I'll be doing next time, there were some guys there cleaning a mother load of flatties and blue grouper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish1999 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I fished at bendalong in the holidays and did well getting nice size snapper around the 40cm warm and a few big mowies. Just go out about 2km from bendalong point in about 25-35m and you should do good Cheers Ethan Edited July 30, 2014 by Ethan13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy-livin Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Wicked !! If not ulladulla harbour and out! Is that ramp any good at bendalong!? If only the lake was completely open and the fish were on in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish1999 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The boat ramp is beach. On high tide you can go on croncrete if isn't high tide you will be pulling out on the sand. When you have your boat hooked up and going to go out, reverse out of your trailer marks then pull out. Seen a few getting bogged there before. Also don't go out on a northeast swell goes straight into the boat ramp which causes waves and is hard to hook up. Cheers Ethan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
