Fishing the eastern entrance

Post by phil1818 » Wed Jun 06, 2018 5:11 pm

I have been checking out some possible gummy shark haunts and was wondering if anyone has given the eastern entrance a lash?? I have noticed it has quiet a few steep drop offs into deeper water but I also know the tide hammers through this area like there’s no tomorrow so might make it hard work.. be keen to know if anyone else has tried this area with any success. Cheers :cheers:

Tide is fine, I’d anchor the yak off red point quite often with no issues.

Id go outside of the entrance when conditions allow set up a drift around the craypots. Just make sure your not too close.

So that's what they call them lol

I always just called them either cat/dog/staffy/carpet/swell sharks lol basically everything but what they are actually called.

Yeah they are everywhere too. ******* disgusting things they are.

The biggest problem fishing the eastern entrance is not the fact it doesn't hold fish but the amount of boat traffic throughout a lot of reasonable days.
