CATCH IT IN THE CLARENCE - 2022

Can you believe it? This is our ninth edition of Catch It in the Clarence and Beyond and it is as popular as ever.

With plenty of onshore and offshore destinations to wet your appetite, the Clarence Valley is a fisherman's paradise.

No matter what fishing you're into, there is plenty on offer here in the Clarence.

The fishing is spectacular, the scenery is beautiful and the river seems to just go on and on.

Catch It in the Clarence and Beyond provides you with a wealth of fishing information written by some of the valley’s most experienced anglers, Mick Leavey, Mark Hooklyn, Paul Kneller and the Reel Time Team.

Sadly one of our writers and a great friend, Ted McLean passed away in May of 2021and in tribute to him and his love of fishing we have kept his fishing spots for the year.

We hope that you find the information in this booklet helpful and that you have an enjoyable stay in the Clarence Valley.

We urge you to support the businesses who have advertised in this booklet as without their support we would not be able to provide this information to you free.

Happy fishing and tight lines Contacts

IT IN THE 2022 3

The Writers

Mick Leavey

I have grown up with fishing in my blood. School Holidays were always to great fishing places like Noosa, 1770 and Fraser Island. I was able to live and fish in Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales when I entered the workforce.

If I wasn’t fishing my local trout streams near Glen Innes or chasing Murray Cod, I would be travelling to Cape York fishing for Barra, Mangrove Jack and Queenfish. I was fortunate to have some of the best Bass dams right at my front door step when I was living in the Hunter Valley.

Fishing trips to the coast were also a common occurrence, whether it be to Yamba or the Northern Territory and Arnhemland.

Always spending my spare time around tackle shops I thought it might be easier to buy one, so I purchased Yamba Bait & Tackle in 2008. I started crafting lures (a skill I picked up as a child) and my lures are now fairly well known in the fishing industry and have a reputation of excellence.

Mick

Paul Kneller

I first started fishing the Clarence River in 1989. I fell in love with the area and moved my family here in January 1997. At the time, my wife Cheryl and I were operating a small business known as “Deception lures!” After the sale of Deception we ran Big River Bait and Tackle in Maclean for a number of years.

I have pretty much done every style of fishing you can think of. We pioneered a lot of the techniques on the Clarence, catching Mullaway on soft plastics was pretty

much unheard of before Big River Bait and Tackle was around. We developed the first Vibration Blade (Shake & Bakes) designed for the Clarence area. Steve Starling was a regular visitor, we spent countless hours perfecting our techniques on the Rocky Mouth reef in Maclean, many of those hours were captured on film for several fishing DVD’s. I wrote a fishing location round up for the Fishing Monthly group.

Mark Hooklyn

Vale Ted McLean

I was born in Tingha NSW, where I spent my childhood catching craybobs and carp.

I spent most of my holidays Bass fishing in the Clarence Valley, catching Bass, catfish and eels.

As I got older I couldn’t wait for holidays to come around so I moved to the Clarence Valley when I was 16 and have been fishing at every opportunity since.

I have had some highly regarded fishermen as mentors and friends with my great Uncle Norm Tibbett, who fished the About nine years ago while fishing on the Iluka breakwall, my son Mischa and I met a bloke by the name of Ted McLean.

I didn't know at the time that Ted would become my best mate.

Somebody that I truly looked out for and loved like a brother.

Ted was a very private bloke who loved fishing and cut his land-based teeth fishing such famous ledges as the Tubes and Green Cape back in the late 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s.

Not many anglers who have fished on the Iluka breakwall didn’t know and respect Ted. Tragically, Ted was diagnosed

coast from Coffs to Sandon, and Allan Rooks of Maclean, who knows the lower Clarence better than most.

From the snaggy log lined Orara River to the rocky gorges of the Clarence and Mann Rivers we truly live in God’s country.

Ten years ago I re-opened the BP Marina Service Station in Sth Grafton and established a fishing tackle store.

These days we carry a wide range of bait and tackle to cater to all your fishing needs.

Mark with a particularly aggressive illness and passed away on May 29, 2021.

There is so much more that I could and would love to say about the man, however I know that this would go against his wishes. What I can say is thanks for all the many magical memories, mate.

Our deepest condolences and love go to his family.

Rest in peace, mate, and may your ratchets keep screaming.

Our skippers have extensive knowledge and years of fishing experience maximising your chance of a good catch of quality fish during the time you spend with us.

Pick ups are available from both Yamba and Iluka and we also conduct whale watching tours in season and Eco tours.

YAMBA a beach lover's paradise

Images: Fran Dowsett

Yamba is a beach lovers paradise with kilometre after kilometre of excellent beaches for snorkelling, swimming and surfing.

There are family safe and patrolled beaches within easy access of the main shopping strip, or more secluded beaches, again within sight of the urban areas. If its total privacy you’re after, take a drive and find your own piece of paradise.

There is an ocean pool built into the rocks and standing atop Pilot Hill is the iconic Yamba Lighthouse. From there you get a panoramic view over the surrounding beaches, the mouth of the river and Yamba Bay. Have a picnic breakfast and watch the sun rise.

Yamba is surrounded by the Yuraygir National Park, the perfect destination for those wanting to get off the beaten track.

The Yaegl people are traditional custodians of the coastal areas around Yamba and

YAMBA YAMAHA

Maclean.

The broad waters of the Clarence are ideal for boating, fishing and exploring this magnificent river system.

Yamba is fast becoming renowned for its boutique shopping and its relaxed lifestyle.

There are plenty of award-winning restaurants and cafés, and an eclectic mix of shops and art galleries.

The charming seaside village of Angourie, 5km south of Yamba, is at the northern tip of Yuraygir National Park, which has one of the most spectacular coastal walks in the state.

Spectacular views of the coastline, a glorious natural setting and a laid-back, relaxed lifestyle make Angourie a very desirable destination to locals and visitors alike.

There is so much to see and do in and around Yamba, there is something for every member of the family.

Yamba Breakwall Mick’s Tips Be prepared and get here early as there are few good fishing platforms.

Make sure your keys and phone are securely zippered in a safe dry spot.

What is it?

What bait should I use?

1.2km rock-wall which protrudes 1km into the ocean. It is the mouth of the Clarence River. Great spot for walking as well as fishing.

Mullet strips, prawns.

Where is it?

Not the safest place for kids. Ten years and older with adult supervision would be fine as the rocks can be slippery when wet with deep crevises.

This is a good all year round spot.

River can be snaggy when the tide is running fast.

Good parking areas, toilets, showers, picnic tables, BBQ areas and shelters.

What dream fish might I catch?

Large Bream, Jewfish or Flathead.

Tuna and Mackerel can be caught off the beach side of the wall in summer.

What fish should I target?

This area produces the most variety of fish as you have both access to the river and the ocean. Tailor, Bream, Whiting, Flathead, Jewfish, Tuna, Mackerel, or even Snapper.

YAMBA YAMAHA

Metal lures, soft plastics, hard bodies lures or poppers.

Best time to fish?

Can be accessed from Clarence Street, near the main street.

What’s there?

For the Kids

What lures are best?

Safety First: - Observe first, fish later: always check weather and water conditions before you start fishing.

Red Rock Retaining Gantry Wall Wall What is it?

What bait should I use?

A smaller rock wall that houses the trawler fleet and the end of the marina.

Really anything can work. Best time to be there is when the trawlers are in wash-down and all the scraps are washed into the water.

Where is it?

What lures are best?

From Yamba Road, turn off into the marina and head along the wall.

Poppers for Trevally, plastics for Bream and large deep diving lures for Mangrove Jacks.

What’s there?

No facilities, however there is some nice grassy areas and shady trees which are great for picnics.

Good all year round. Early morning and evening.

Blackfish, Bream, Trevally and some big Mangrove Jacks.

What dream fish might I catch?

Mangrove Jacks would be the most sought after fish. They fight well and are hard to land.

Great spot for kids, although a little rocky on the wall.

Great for family fishing, dog friendly and has good vehicle access onto the beach.

Safety First: - spot a rip current: Rip currents will occur in deeper water, so it’s usually a darker colour compared to the white breaking waves over a sandbank. Because the water is deeper, there will be fewer breaking waves which can give the appearance of a safer spot to swim.

RedLake RockWooloweyah Retaining Wall What is it?

What bait should I use?

Lake Wooloweyah is a huge shallow lake system. It does have several rocky points.

Best baits include worms, yabbies, white pilchards and prawns.

Where is it?

With the lake being very shallow it would be best to use smaller shallow running lures, plastics or blades.

By car, head towards Angourie and then turn off to Wooloweyah. If you are traveling by boat, head up Oyster Channel until you hit the lake.

What’s there?

What lures are best?

Best time to fish?

You may catch a 5kg Flathead or larger Jewfish. Some Whiting can also get quite large in the lake.

Easily accessible from the grassy foreshore for kids and it is also sheltered from most winds.

Safety First :- Keep a proper lookout at all times for things like floating debris, hazards like submerged crab traps, trees or rocks and other boats especially kayaks and canoes.

Whiting, Bream, Flathead, smaller Jewfish. In the summer months it is a great spot for Blue Swimmer Crabs.

YAMBA YAMAHA

If using a boat be mindful that it can be very shallow at times. Great for kayaks and canoes.

For the Kids

Summer months from spring to autumn.

What dream fish might I catch?

There is a small boat ramp and grassy foreshore.

Black Rock

GPS: 29.15.250 153.26.140

What is it?

What bait should I use?

An area of reef north of Woody Head and south of Evans Head that has a reputation of producing good reef fish.

RedNorth Rock East Retaining Wall Corner

GPS: 29.29.550 153.25.507

Reel Time Team Tips Make sure a reliable person has a description of your boat, the number of passengers, where you are going, and your expected time of return or arrival.

For the Kids

Fishing in 50mtrs of water might be a bit like hard work for younger kids especially if the big fish are on.

What is it?

What lures are best?

North of Angourie is the north east corner of the reef.

The water is around 50mtrs deep so lures are limited here, a large soft plastic on a heavy jig head if the current isn’t too hard will produce fish.

Where is it?

Almost due east of Angourie Point, approximately 4½ nautical miles off shore.

Best time to fish?

It is a complex reef structure of hard rock, sponge and wire weed.

All year round spot with fish taken most days. Being on the edge of the reef it seems to be a drop-in spot for traveling fish.

What fish should I target?

What dream fish might I catch?

There are numeroud quality reef fish found here including good Snapper, Trag, Jewfish and Nanagi.

This spot will change every time you fish here and you never know what you will catch. Winter can bring some very large Snapper (over 8kg).

What’s there?

What bait should I use?

Strip bait of mullet or tuna on paternoster rigs, or in winter floating baits of blue pillies.

CATCH IT IN THE CLARENCE - 2022

31

What is it?

It's the start of Shark Bay. Rocky headland with shallow reef running to the north.

Where is it?

From the mouth of the Clarence approximately 5 nautical miles north.

What’s there?

There is beach access from the road at the headland as well as the road north of the turn off. On land there is a camping ground and boat ramp.

Woody Head What fish should I target?

What lures are best?

Mackerel fishing is great from December to early May along the outer edge of the shallow reef and inside the bay there are a couple of higher reef areas the Mackerel congregate around. Some very nice Tailor can be taken from the headland itself in winter mostly but all year round it will produce Tailor, Jew and Bream. From July to early September soft plastic fishing the outer edge of the reef produces nice Snapper, just drift along in about the 10– 5mtr mark.

Fishing for Jewfish a large bibbed lure like Bills Bugs Jew Lure will get down to the fish.

Off the rocks a silver metal lure of about 50g worked fast for the Tailor or Trolling pink squid well back from the boat at between 8–9 knots seems to work the best for the Mackerel between day break and about 8am then switch to float baits. Soft plastics work well for snapper here.

What bait should I use?

What dream fish might I catch?

Fish for Tailor off the rocks using Pillies on gang hooks. Floating blue pillies on light wires will get the Mackerel later in the morning.

Spanish Mackerel to over 20kg in the bay and Jewfish over 15gk from the rocks and Tailor over 4kg have been caught here.

YAMBA YAMAHA

Best time to fish?

June to September for the Tailor,July and August for the snapper.

December to early May for the Mackerel.

Make sure your boat and motor are in top condition.

Don’t go out if you have any engine trouble at all.

Always make sure you have enough fuel to get out and back.

For the Kids The inside protected area behind the reef and the beaches are excellent for kids being safe protected water.

What is it?

A rock structure protruding up from the bottom of the ocean usually with extremely steep sides is known as a bombie or pinnacle. Freeburn Rock lifts out of around 15mtrs of depth to just 3.5mtrs below the surface. A large swell will break regularly on this rock. Because of the close proximity to the surface there is a large amount of coral and kelp on and around the rock.

Where is it?

Approximately six nautical miles south of the mouth of the Clarence and about 1-½ nautical miles off shore.

Freeburn Rock

(The Bombie)

GPS: 29.31.133 153.22.155

What’s there?

What lures are best?

The bombie itself is enough, some keen divers and spear fishers dive the rock. The structure attracts a vast array of different fish, pelagic and reef and large shoals of bait.

Large soft plastics in any pattern will take Snapper in the very early hours of the morning. Most days you can troll surface lures (pink squid) or divers (large bibbed lures) around the rock and be successful.

What fish should I target?

If you love fishing for Snapper then this is one of the best grounds for targeting Snapper on plastics or lures.

Also trolling around the rock can be very productive for Mackerel, Tuna, and Cobia etc. Blue Groper is also a common catch in the winter.

What bait should I use?

Floating pillies will produce some nice Snapper and Jewfish at times but the most productive fishing around the rock is lure fishing. Red crabs are like lollies to the Blue Groper. A live yakka or slimy mackerel trolled at walking pace will be the best for a big Spanish Mackerel.

YAMBA YAMAHA

Best time to fish?

The rock will surprise you everyday.

Warm water during December to April is good for pelagics on troll. Late June to September for Snapper on plastics,

What dream fish might I catch?

Spanish Mackerel to over 30kg from this rock have been caught.

For the Kids

Definitely not for the kids. The break is very unpredictable.

Always boat at a safe speed and know the limits of yourself and your boat.

Caution Freeburn Rock is one of the most unpredictable breaks on the coast.

Even on the calmest of days a freak wave can break over the top and swamp a boat.

This spot deserves the greatest of respect and care.

GPS: 29.34.400 153.23.200

Reel Time Team Tips

Use your marine radio to log on and to log off with Marine Rescue.

Let them know where you are going, estimated time of return, vessel details and how many people on board.

Don’t forget to let them know when you return.

For the Kids The ease of fishing the shallower areas of this reef makes it great for kids to learn to deep-sea fish.

What is it?

What bait should I use?

Red Cliff is an area of reef south towards Brooms Head. The name Red Cliff comes from the fact that if you look to shore there is a large red cliff.

The fish here will eat everything from bait prawns to livies. It is hard to find bait that won’t work here so anchor up, burley and start enjoying life.

What lures are best?

Where is it?

If you put the time in you may catch fish on plastic’s and small jigs easily, although bait is definitely the way to go.

South of the mouth of the Clarence approximately 10 nautical miles. It is a large area from about 3 miles to 6 miles off shore.

Best time to fish?

What’s there?

Red Cliff is a mixture of hard rock, broken reef and gravel patches. The depth varies from 20 – 50mtrs.

What fish should I target?

All of the best reef fish can be caught from this reef complex.

Snapper, Pearl Perch, Venus Tusk fish, Moses Perch, Trag, Pigfish, Jewfish etc. etc.

YAMBA YAMAHA

Anytime is a good time.

What dream fish might I catch?

Large Pearl Perch and Venus Tusk fish are always trophy fish and this is the place that can happen.

Safety First: - if your lights aren’t fitted properly you can’t expect others to see you. Be bright at night.

'The Broom', as it is affectionately referred to by locals, is a great beachside holiday destination.

Originally known as Cakora Point, it is a leisurely 22km drive from Maclean.

Along the way, you can usually see large numbers of kangaroos and wallabies and if you are lucky enough, one of the last remaining flocks of ‘coastal emus’.

To the right, just before reaching Brooms Head is the turnoff to Sandon River.

Drivers will have to negotiate several kilometres of basic formed road to Sandon and although the road is sand and gravel, it is quite suitable for the family car.

Located within Yuraygir National Park, Sandon River is a beautiful spot to swim, fish or picnic. There is no store or food avail-

Harwood Red Rock Retaining Wall What is it?

What fish should I target?

Harwood is a small hamlet located on Harwood Island between the north and south arm of the Clarence River. Fishing options include the Harwood Bridge, river flats on the southern side downstream and upstream from the Harwood Hotel and good deep water near the sugar mill, slipway and the hole at Martins Point.

Flathead, Mullaway, Bream, Luderick, Whiting can all be caught, as well as some becoming more frequent summer visitors like Giant Herring, Tarpon and Trevally.

Where is it?

Harwood Island is where the Pacific Highway goes over the Clarence river.

What’s there?

Boat ramps on either side of the river. which have cleaning tables and toilets, and plenty of parking for cars and trailers.

YAMBA YAMAHA

May and August/September.

Mullaway find large soft plastics and Vibration Blades hard to resist. Lightly weighted soft plastics, small deep diving hard body lures and small blades work well for Bream.

Best time to fish?

What bait should I use?

Live herring for Mullaway, small lano mullet also make excellent live bait, as do torpedo squid.

For Bream small pieces of cut bait work well. For Flathead it is pretty hard to go past white bait or anchovies.

What lures are best?

Flathead are responsive to soft plastics nearly all year round, peak times are April/

The winter months are best for the big Mullaway and Bream, autumn and late winter early spring for the Flathead, summer months for the Whiting.

What dream fish might I catch?

Again large Mullaway are the target, however some 4kg+ Flathead are often caught here.

Harwood bridge can often turn up some obscure captures, like Cobia and large Mangrove Jack.

Rocky Mouth What is it?

What bait should I use?

Best time to fish?

Where the South Arm of the Clarence converges with the main river lays a large body of coffee rock reef known to the locals as Rocky Mouth.

All the usual baits will work fine at Rocky Mouth, rigged live herring for big Bream and Mullaway, live poddy mullet for large Flathead.

Try prawns, chicken gut, mullet gut, squid and worms.

Where is it?

What lures are best?

Rocky Mouth is within 500m of Maclean CBD.

What’s there?

The boat ramp near the Court House in Maclean is only around 300m down stream from Rocky Mouth.

What fish should I target?

The most common would be Flathead, Mullaway, Luderick, Whiting and Bream.

YAMBA YAMAHA

Hard body diving lures for bream in the winter fished over the shallow reef can yield great results as can small lightly weighted soft plastics.

Some very big Flathead and Mullaway call Rocky Mouth home. Big soft plastics and Vibration Blades are very effective on both. Plenty of Mangrove Jack and Trevally etc will fall victim to the same techniques over the summer period here.

No matter what the season there is always something going on at Rocky Mouth, best for Bream in autumn and winter, big Flathead, Trevally and Mangrove Jack in the summer time. For the big Mullaway you can’t beat spring. The last of the run in tide through slack water, or the bottom of the tide through slack water are both optimum times.

What dream fish might I catch?

Summer months, Mullaway over 10kg are occasionally caught here as well as giant Trevally over 5kgs have been taken. Some dry summers, massive schools of giant herring take up residence at Rocky Mouth to feast on prawns and small bait-fish.

MACLEAN the Scottish town

Imgaes: Lynne Mowbray

On the banks of the mighty Clarence River is Maclean – the Scottish town in Australia. This historic town is renowned for its Scottish Festivals the Highland Gathering and International Tartan Day. Many of Maclean’s street signs are written in Gaelic as well as English.

Take a stroll and explore the historic architecture on the heritage walking trail or call into the Scottish shop to pick up information to track down your clan on the 200 decorated tartan power poles.

A visit to the bicentennial museum shows the development of Maclean with the adjacent Stone Cottage depicting home life in the 1880’s.

Maclean is also home to Australia’s oldest free presbyterian church.

There is a scottish cairn located in

Taloumbi Street. The decision to create a Scottish Cairn in Maclean grew from a Bicentennial gift of a Cairn from Scotland to Australia (1988). Despite intense lobbying, the Cairn was given permanent home in Mosman Park, Sydney.

The Maclean “Scottish Town in Australia” Committee decided to construct its own Cairn. The Cairn was positioned in Stanford Park. Stones were obtained from parts of Scotland, from Scottish families throughout Australia and locally.

The Maclean Scottish Cairn is a fitting memorial to the contribution Scottish settlers made to the Clarence and to Australia. Maclean has a bustling retail sector with many boutique shops housed in some beautifully restored historic buildings.

The Broadwater What is it?

What’s there?

What lures are best?

Known locally as the “Broad” it is a vast shallow lake connected to the Clarence river above Maclean, it (along with Lake Wooloweyah) is one of the most important aquatic nurseries on the Clarence.

There are no amenities in the Broadwater, Maclean is your nearest port of call.

Small lightly weighted soft plastics for the Bream in the shallows, larger ones for the Mullaway that patrol the drop offs where the Clarence and the Broad merge. This also a perfect place to fish Vibration Blades.

Where is it?

The Broadwater is a couple of kms upstream from Maclean.

You can launch your boat at Maclean or drive to the ramp on the Lawrence Rd that is just opposite the Broadwater (all wheel drive access), there are no real land based opportunities to fish in the Broadwater.

YAMBA YAMAHA

What fish should I target?

The main species you will encounter in and around the Broadwater are Bream, Flathead, Mullaway and Luderick. Occasional summer visitors include Trevally, Giant Herring, Tarpon and the odd Mangrove Jack.

Best time to fish?

What bait should I use?

By far the number one bait for people targeting flathead up at the Broadwater would have to be white bait, other baits such as local Clarence River prawns, squid, mullet gut and live herring all have their place here as well.

Best time is autumn and winter. About 10 days after the full moon there will be a run out tide around day break, the prawns that have “gone to mud” will lift on these smaller tides and the fish will be waiting.

What dream fish might I catch?

Large Mullaway are often taken in the area just outside the Broadwater.

The Barges Top Tip A good drift can be had along the bank.

The depth drops to 8m close to where the Submarine Pipeline sign is located on the bank.

What is it?

What bait should I use?

Old cane barges have been skuttled on the most north easterly bank of Harwood Island creating a haven for bait fish.

The best bait to use is squid strips.

Prawns are ok although bait fish will keep you occupied re-baiting hooks.

Where is Where is it?

it?

Along the bank of Harwood Island between the eastern mouth of Serpentine Channel and the main part of the river.

For the Kids

What’s there?

Great fun for kids as the small bait fish will keep them occupied.

You will need patience having to re-bait their hooks all the time.

As you will need to access the spot by boat, there are no facilities. The area ranges from 2m in depth to 8m.

What lures are best?

Drift along the bank with soft plastics or flick small hard bodied lures into the structure created by the barges.

Best time to fish?

Winter is great for Bream and summer is better for Flathead although you will catch both all year round.

Fish on the slack water as the tide can run quite fast through here.

What fish should I target?

The main fish would be Bream and Flathead, although you may be lucky enough to pick up a School Jew.

YAMBA YAMAHA

What dream fish might I catch?

Good sized Bream are a definite possibility along with large Flathead.

ILUKA

seaside village charm

Situated on the northern side of the mouth of the Clarence River, Iluka is as far removed from “sister” town Yamba as you could possibly get.

Less than one third the size of Yamba, Iluka is favoured by visitors and locals alike for its laid back, casual lifestyle, fewer people, less traffic but everywhere near a seaside paradise as Yamba.

As you head towards Iluka from the highway you will drive through the small village of Woombah.

Woombah is home to many talented artists and there are a number of studios open for inspection. You can also visit the famous Woombah Coffee Plantation.

Goodwood Island is also accessed from Woombah at the coffee plantation. There are some fabulous picnic spots along the

banks of the Clarence River or you can throw a line in. Goodwood Wharf (Port of Yamba) is the home of ocean going freighters serving the needs of residents of Lord Howe Island and the South Pacific.

Continuing to Iluka, it is very common to pass kangaroos and the endangered coastal emu. Iluka has full shopping facilities and a number of camping and caravan parks.

There is easy surf beach access on the eastern edge of town.

Once in Iluka, you must walk through the “World Heritage” listed Iluka Rainforest Reserve. Access points are from Long Street in Iluka, the Bluff Picnic area and the disabled access point on Iluka Bluff Road. A section of the track is wheelchair accessible and children will have no difficulty walking the entire length.

Goodwood Island Wharf Safety First: If boating, make sure you keep a close eye out for crab traps.

Particularly between September and April.

For the Kids The tidal flow here is very strong and the rocks can be slippery.The sandy beachtucked back in next to the wall would be much better for the kids.

What is it?

What bait should I use?

This is the Port of Yamba loading wharf. The wharf itself is off limits to the public but the two rock walls outside the chain wire fence can be fished.

Pippies, nippers and beach worms.

Best baits to target Jewfish and Flathead are Beach Worms and live Herring which can be caught on a bait jig at the wharf. Black or green weed for Blackfish.

Where is it?

Driving from Iluka 11 km turn left at the Woombah coffee shop into Wharf St and follow the road to the wharf.

What lures are best?

What’s there?

For Jew fish and Flathead try mid size paddle tail soft plastics and for bream try smaller wriggler or prawn imitations.

Small sandy beach and boat ramp.

Best time to fish?

What fish should I target?

Pretty much all year round at this spot. Target Blackfish from February to June and Flathead, Bream and Whiting in the Summer months.

There are some big fish lurking about under this wharf but fishing close to oyster encrusted pylons mean most of them get to stay there. The ones you can get out will include Bream, Flathead, Blackfish, Whiting and school Jew.

Shark Bay For the Kids Shark Bay has strong rips and currents so is not a good place to swim. It does have plenty of room for the kids to play and build sand castles. Teach the kids the Pippi twist or how to catch Beach Worms and they will have a fun day.

What is it?

What fish should I target?

10 km stretch of beach running from Woody Head to Black Rock. The beach has plenty of fishable gutters and is protected from southerly winds. The beach entrance can get very soft after long periods without rain so it may pay to check before driving in.

In summer target Whiting, Bream, Tarwhine and Flathead. In early Autumn School and Black tip sharks move into the southern end of the bay. In Winter fish for Tailor, Bream and Jewfish.

What bait should I use?

It is 6km north of Iluka on Iluka Road.

Pippies and Beach Worms can be gathered on the beach (check regulations and bag limits). Best baits for Jew are Beach Worms Mullet strips and live baits. Tailor fillets for Sharks.

What’s there?

What lures are best?

The car park before the 4wd access has toilets and a picnic area with gas bbq. There are no facilities at the 4wd access.

For Tailor 40/65 gram chrome raiders and for Flathead try 40/1000mm soft plastics.

Where is it?

Best time to fish?

Safety First: - Rip currents will usually occur in deeper water, so it's usually a darker colour compared to the white breaking waves over a sandbank, giving a rip the appearance of a saver spot to swim.

YAMBA YAMAHA

Almost anytime is a good time.

What dream fish might I catch?

Large Jewfish are always a possibility.

Iluka Bluff Ted’s Tips Iluka Bluff is not a spot for kids.

Safety First: Inform others of your plans. Always let friends or family know where you are going and when you’II be back.

What is it?

What bait should I use?

Iluka Bluff is the closest rock ledge to the township of Iluka. The north and south corners offer some protection depending on wind direction. This ledge is low to the water and not the place to be in a big swell.

Pippies, Pilchard fillets and Beach Worms, Try whole Pilchards on ganged hooks for Tailor. Best baits for Jewfish are beach worms Mullet strips and live baits.

Where is it?

For Tailor 40/65gm chrome raiders.

Jewfish will take big soft plastics, Zerak Flat Shads are good as they don’t pick up much weed. The main lures used on the bluff are big hard bodies like Bills Bugs.

2km from Iluka on Iluka Rd. National Park permits apply.

What’s there?

Car park, toilets and a picnic area and lookout.

Best time to fish?

Anytime time of the year is good with dusk and dawn the best times of the day.

What fish should I target?

In summer months target Whiting, Bream, Tarwhine, Flathead and Jewfish. In the winter Tailor, Bream and Jewfish are definite possibilities.

Two minutes from town. Follow the road past the fish co-op. It’s well sign posted.

What lures are best?

For Tailor 40/65gm chrome raiders.

Jew will take soft plastics - 100mm white paddle tails would be a good start. For Tuna and Mackerel 65/85gm raiders, X raps and Poppers.

What’s there?

Car park - toilets are available in the lookout carpark.

Best time to fish?

What fish should I target?

Anytime time of the year is good, with dusk and dawn the best times of the day.

Get back to nature with the coastal villages of Wooli and Minnie Water.

Wooli and Minnie Water are surrounded by Yuraygir National Park.

Along the coastal trails you will encounter heathland plains, crystal creeks and lagoons and an abundance of wildflowers and birdlife.

The secluded beaches in the heart of the Solitary Islands Marine Park are perfect for family beach holidays, snorkelling and scuba diving.

Wooli, located 15km from Minnie Water, is the larger of the two villages.

It has a bowling club, hotel-motel, service stations, general store, restaurants, charter boat hire and caravan park and holiday units. Wooli is surrounded by water, wildlife and natural wonders.

Image: Clarence Valley Council

The Wooli River flows through forest and national park ensuring that it is one of the purest waterways in Australia, and is one of the best nurseries for the Sydney Rock Oyster. A feed of oysters can be purchased in the village.

The river can be negotiated upstream by canoe for at least 20km and the lower estuary is idea for tinnies or larger boats.

At Minnie Water there are excellent walking tracks and camping, secluded beaches and abundant wildlife.

In the centre of the village is a general store and post office. Minnie Lagoon is a popular spot for swimming and picnics and has safe boat launching facilities.

GRAFTON the heart of the Clarence

Images: Lynne Mowbray

One of Australia’s most beautiful provincial cities, Grafton is renowned for its Jacaranda trees, graceful old buildings, sporting and cultural facilities and its location on the banks of the mighty Clarence River.

As the commercial hub of the Clarence Valley, Grafton has excellent accommodation, great shopping, award winning restaurants and a vibrant artistic community.

One of Australia’s most majestic waterways, the Clarence River is a dominant feature in Grafton’s landscape and lifestyle. Visitors travel from all over the world to compete in dragon boat, sail, and power boat racing, the Head of the River rowing regatta in December and one of

Australia’s premier water skiing events, the famous Bridge to Bridge Ski Race, in October.

You can explore the River at a more sedate pace in a hire canoe or enjoy a bird’s eye view as you cross the famous ‘Bendy Bridge’, an engineering marvel built in 1932.

Spring’s Jacaranda Festival celebrates the city’s annual blossoming and the July Racing Carnival attracts the cream of Australia’s racing fraternity. The feature race of the carnival, the famous Grafton Cup, is the richest horse race in rural Australia.

At any time of the year, the museums, heritage trails, restaurants and galleries make Grafton an ideal holiday destination.
