piratesgold Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I have been told Brooklyn is a good spot to go landbased, but i know nothing of the area. wev are planning a weekend out somewhere, to do a bit of fishing, landbased, possibly this weekend if the weather is fair. but it needs to be good access for the missus, also need somewhere to park the camper van. does anyone have any advice on the area. a decent fishing jetty would also be good. we will be travelling out from Orange cheers John and Jackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piratesgold Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) Ah yes i see it now, i just threw some extra logs in the computer boiler and managed to get google maps up and running, yep i see the spot, and a lot of other half decent spots, some good tide swirls too. thanks for that,MtC just got to figure where we can 'overnight park' and watch the forecast.......

rjc123 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Next to the train line in sandbrook inlet there is a very rundown old little jetty. I fished it 2 years ago and came home with 2 legal flatties, flounder, whiting and a big bream. It doesn't look too good and im not sure if the jetty is still there but just use prawns for bait. Fish for an hour or so and if no luck then move on. Its really hit and miss. Near the marina there is a big walkway and wharf and have seen people targeting bream, flathead and jewies there! If you can hire a boat and try dangar island ( SW corner preferably and you should get flatties, whiting, bream and even crabs and the occassional legal tailor! Havent fished here for a few months but we always get a fish or two here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suits me, as long as there is fish to catch and beer to drink . thanks guys for the pointers, we will have a go around there later in the year Edited July 12, 2011 by piratesgold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
