Where would you go fishing?

[Fish_More]

Hi Raiders

After some advice please.  I'm based in Mudgee which is 3:45 drive north west of Sydney.

Hoping to take the kids (8 & 5 year old) fishing next weekend.  The closest place to get to the salt is Port Stephens which is 4:07 drive.  I'm willing to drive no more than 5:30. Plan to take off Friday night and do couple hours and then finish it next morning for a fish most of Saturday and a bit of Sunday morning.  5:30 makes the southern limit Batemans Bay and northern limit Port Macquarie.

Boat is 6.5m plate, so willing to go outside in good conditions.  The kids and I have slept on the boat before and had a great time, so more than willing to do it again.

Have been to Port Stephens a few times and potentially looking to try somewhere new (not that Port Stephens is not nice, just exploring).

Where would go?

Thanks

Mark
