The Entrance: Why Its The Best Fishing Destination in Central Coast NSW
The Entrance: Why Its The Best Fishing Destination in Central Coast NSW
There’s really nothing as relaxing as being on the central coast in one of the local spots to fish. You can fish on the beach; off the lakes and also go out in the open water with just your boat, your fishing gear, and sturdy hat (don’t forget the sunglasses, too!).
Looking out to the water provides amazing views and a moment to just be as you want for the fish to come in and be lured on the line. And when it comes to fishing fun, the best place to be is definitely at The Entrance and its surrounds.
Why? Because every fish lover will find themselves going after the best catch that Australia’s waters can offer. The place has been a sought-after holiday destination since 1885. Aside from being home to beautiful beaches and lagoons, it is teeming with fishing spots that will surely make any fishing aficionado hooked (pun intended!).
What Exactly Can You Catch at The Entrance?
The best part of fishing at The Entrance is the kind of catch one can get from exploring its waters. A bounty of seafood, flathead, whiting, bream, and blackfish are available all year round.
During the month of January, the area is teeming with prawns that are perfect for some cocktails and mimosas after a long day. Or why not match with refreshing lemonade and “throw another prawn on the Barbie” which can be prepared right at Sapphire Palm’s BBQ area.
For best fishing tips at The Entrance, go to Fishraiders to get all your questions answered.
Word of advice though; no drag nets are allowed in The Entrance. Bring out those scoop nets instead. But if you prefer to use drag nets, the Long Jetty allows its use and you can catch as many prawns as you like in the deeper area of the end of the jetty especially during the summer months. For further regulations go to The Entrance official website.
Norah Head and Terrigal are known spots for salmon, jewfish, snapper and tailor.
If having your cake and eating it too interest you, then the one-two punch of South Avoca gives you just that—a beautiful stretch of beach to relax in before you go ahead and catch some tailor, kingfish, and tuna. You can also do the more popular live baiting for big jewfish.
Rent a boat and head to Lake Budgewoi. It gives great views and lots of chances to catch some bream and luderick. A boat would take you to the best spots. If you are more of a night fisher and you’d love some flathead, the Lake Munmorah is the place to be.
Crabs are also popular catches in Tuggerah Lakes.
Have Fun Afloat
Families can rent a watercraft not just for fishing, but also for enjoying the scenic waters of the Tuggerah Lake. Some watercraft for hire include canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, and half-cabin or open motor boats. Tourists truly enjoy water activities like sailing, water-skiing, rowing, and canoeing here.
