info to help you enjoy your time here:
Your

that also has a map of where to fish
Tuross Head has some of the most stunning foreshores around—and there are plenty of fishing options on our coast. With drummer, salmon, tailor, bream, blackfish and more catchable flathead from our beaches and rocks, it stands to reason that you’ll want to try your luck.When you do, it”s sure to be an experience you remember forever, even if you miss out on the fish… it’s really that beautiful!
As with all rock and beach fishing on the east coast, you should be mindful of the surf and swell. We beg you to keep safety at the forefront of your mind. In recognition of the inherent risks involved, key members of Th eTuross Head Fishing Club have worked to get four angel rings installed along our rocky foreshore. Please take note of where these are and always… fish with a friend, close to an angel ring.
Spearfishing
Spearfishing is allowed along the ocean frontage at Tuross however you need to remail within 20 m of the points and not spearfish along the beach zone.
The
Tuross Estuary is classified as a recreational
fishing haven
Please note:
All inland waters are closed to spearfishing as
well as various areas along the coast. Entrances, coastal
lagoons and other tidal waters are closed to spearfishing
Under the TUROSS
ESTUARY AND COILA
LAKE WATERWAY USAGE MANAGEMENT
PLAN 2005
Spear-fishing
was moved to be banned from within
the entrance channels of the Tuross estuary and Coila
Lake thereby preventing the risk of injury to swimmers
associated with this activity. Line-fishing from within
the entrance channel was not recommended for restriction.
Never spearfish
alone and always inform others
of your fishing plans. Let friends or family know
where you are going and when you will be back.
•
A safety boat, with the operator acting as a lookout,
should accompany spearfishers at all times.
•
Spearfishers should always tow a float displaying
the ‘Divers Flag A’.
Spearfishers
in NSW are required to pay the NSW recreational
fishing fee and comply with bag limits.
Penalties
Penalties apply to persons who take or possess fish
(including invertebrates, shells, etc.) taken in
contravention of fishing closures, including aquatic
reserves and intertidal protected areas.
