Middle Arm rockbars

Post by Matt Flynn »

Here's a useful picture taken from one of the Middle Arm aerial photos in the current NTMAG.

This picture shows a couple of the main rockbars in Middle Arm on a spring low tide. Real prop hazards, but good fishing spots in the right conditions.

Middle Arm is a monster place the GPS positions would be a real money/prop saver. I wouldn't know where that area is in Middle Arm :bonk:

It explains in the mag where these two are and gives a rough GPS mark :mrgreen:

Anyone know where I could get a copy of this issue before the weekend? Heading down middle arm with a 530 tinny and a much bigger boat (draws 800mm), and wouldn't mind these GPS/photos. Hoping with tides that aren't spring tides it'll be okay (still have 2.5 -3.5 metres movement in harbour), but I would like to do a bit more preparation.

Alternatively, if anyone has a track/ marked up map of the deepest track for middle arm (preferably all the way up to the Southport ramp), that would be much appreciated. Would ideally have a minimum of 10 feet all the way up. Surprisingly, Navionics is not a lot of help.

Cancel that, found the depth chart for upper reaches of the Blackmore, along with spring low photos in my Fish Finder 11.

Are these rockbars marked on the NT way point card?

Don't know mate, don't have access to my sounder at the moment (taking a sounder that does not have the card loaded onto it).

The bigger Middle Arm rockbars as shown on the aerial are on the card, and also Middle Arm holes. There are other small patches of rocks not marked, mainly because there are small outcrops everywhere.
