Fast becoming one of the Tassies fishing hotspots, it’s always been a great place to snare a feed of flatties or perhaps one of those 3 kilo west coast crays, but of recent times has developed into the most consistent Snapper fishery in mainland Tasmania. Some of the locals have the place wired and are producing catches of Snapper to rival Victorian and South Australia. The other fish that are turning up in ever increasing numbers in the North West is the King George Whiting; and as anyone who has ever eaten one will attest they are very close to the best tasting fish that swims.
With thanks to the team at Hook, Line and Sinker.
