Jervis Bay
Jervis bay is a huge mass of water approximately 3 times the size of Sydney Harbour and its surrounding land mass projects approximately 16km at its most eastern point further to sea than the rest of the coast line.
The Bay is constantly being washed through by oceanic currents and for this reason it has earned a reputation amongst game fisherman along the east coast of Australia and probably the world as the best land based game fishing spots in the world for Marlin.
There is a healthy population of pilchards and slimy mackerel with the pilchard stocks rapidly increasing since all professional netting was shut down.
We have approximately 75 bottlenose dolphins in the bay and their numbers are steadily increasing along with our colony of fur seals and the regular visits from our still healthy stocks of humpback whales.
Offshore there are 3 Canyons along the continental shelf with the middle canyon, known as the Kink being only 10 nautical miles form the mouth of the bay.
There is an abundance of bait fish on these canyons with plenty of game fish hot on their tails.
Each year there are many marlin faught and tagged and many more faught and lost with some very large blue marlin being hooked regularly but few are landed. Many stories are told of the ones that got away !!
The yellowfin and albacore fishing is also great with the yellowfin only really being absent for 5 to 6 months of the year.
We are truly blessed to be able to fish a place so abundant in game and sport fish as Jervis Bay.
A N N O U N C E M E N T S
Recent trips have yielded plenty of yellow fin between 10 - 30 kg wide of the Jervis Bay Canyons.
we have also had good catches of Blue eye cod to 15kg and Gemfish to 5 kg on the canyons
Some weekends still available for the tuna and deep sea season, enquire now ......
