trigunner54 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hi guys, i was wondering if there are any spots near Coogee beach for fishing (mainly rock fishing). Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike89 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I think there are quite a few good spots around that area, though you should go with a partner and pay attention to safety if you intend to fish off the rocks. Others here can probably give you some good pointers as to specific locations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrassRoots Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I normally fish Gordons Bbay myself as I find it easier to escape the swell there. It feels a bit safer, more protected. I've caught mac tuna, rats, bream, wrasse, eels, garfish, all sorts there. It's just a matter of timing. It's chocka block with squid and cuttles too usually. Otherwise, the northern point at Clovelly is very popular. Plus I reckon there would be a tonne of good spots between Coogee and Maroubra. There are no fish in the videos below but you can see the spots I fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossie Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Southern end of Coogee beach has some productive washes, near the baths. Keep an eye on swell Cliff fishing at Honeycomb Sth coogee should see you get some tailor salmon. Look for rod holes. Cheers cossie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cossie Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Nice vids! Looks good just to cast a lure. Cheers Edited December 10, 2016 by cossie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymondo Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Im not familiar with the area, is Coogee affected by the new Randwick life preserver rules? Might pay to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigunner54 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Thanks guys, but was wondering if u can bring a 10ft rod (2 pieces so 5foot long), onto a bus? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassRoots Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) mate, people take surfboards onto the bus. A 10' rod is not a problem. I looked at the life preserver rules the other day. Randwick is one of the councils trialing the new rules but only in areas deemed "high risk" like Juliennes etc. They have a fact sheet on the DPI website somewhere.

UnderFisher Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 You now need a lifejacket to fish basically any rock ledge in the Randwick City LGA. They have declared the whole area as high risk. This goes from Clovelly all the way south to Cap Banks and around the Botany Bay shore to Yarra Bay.

I think that I might have heard that this was a 'trial' of sorts that might be implemented state-wide. Do you know any more about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMG Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) I have caught Spanish Mackerel off Shark Point,aka Clovelly point but it can be a dangerous spot as one forum member here found out. Coogee beach at night,try it,it is deep water. Coogee the aboriginal word for bad smell is part of Randwick council Edited December 15, 2016 by D.G add info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsswordfisherman Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Love that "Poogee" I am from Coogee and never heard that term. The name is from the seaweed that smells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassRoots Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 It's a combo of the smell plus the incident at the Coogee Bay Hotel where someone found poo in their ice cream or something. http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/human-excrement-found-in-free-gelato/2008/10/25/1224351608023.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
