10. KIAMA POINT Extreme care needs to be taken when fishing from here, as there have been a number of people washed in. Not only can bream, drummer, trevally and groper be targeted, you can also chase marlin, tuna and kingfish with live baits and lures.

As you work your way back towards the harbour entrance, you will come across a breakwall that a decent cast will reach the sandy bottom offshore. 11. MINNAMURRA BEACH This beach doesn’t seem to get much angler pressure. Maybe this is because you

need to put in a fair effort to get there. Bream, whiting, flathead, tailor, salmon and mulloway are target here by the locals who fish it. 12. MINNAMURRA RIVER There may not seem to be much here in this river, but during the summer

faces south east and has a point break with fairly consistent surf. The beach is located within Killalea State Park and was declared a national surfing reserve in June 2009. When there is a big southerly swell and a

One of the best ways to get across the Minnamurra River to the beach is by kayak or canoe.

northerly wind, this is the place to come for a surf if you are a board rider. Now if you are an angler this beach will produce bream, salmon, tailor, whiting and the odd mulloway and ray. You could try fishing at either end of the beach. 14. BASS POINT Bass Point is one of the most prolific fishing spots on the south coast and there is plenty of easy parking and picnic grounds. The passing currents here will attract bream, salmon, tailor, silver trevally, luderick, drummer, groper, kingfish and tuna. There is a small bay called Bushranger Bay that looks very inviting, but you cannot fish here at all. You will need to check where it is on the NSW Fisheries website. 15. SHELLHARBOUR There are a number of beaches, rock walls and rock platforms that will produce bream, whiting, salmon, tailor, drummer, luderick, kingfish, tuna and groper at various times of the year. You also have a protected harbour here from where you can launch to go offshore and fish for snapper.
