Kellaway Reef

Post by Matt Flynn »

Funny reef - has an awesome drop-off on the south side, I fished it quickly a couple of times on the way to Middle Reef and beyond for nowt, never heard of anyone doing any good there.

Is it a dud, or does it hold secrets? :D

Reckon it probably holds a couple of props, nothing worse than looking over the gunwhale at 25 knots plus and seeing Kellaway 1m down :lol:

yep its got a secret or two :wink: but very hit and miss.

I had a great skinny season there in the middle of the dry
last year, and havn't seen em there since .

It also holds small goldies in real close on the beach side.
if your game enough to get in there :D

Yes, it's an important reef to know if you go to Bynoe by sea. Often the first thing you see is the breaking wave.

approx
WGS84
12 25.589S
130 33.140E

There's another cracka out from Point Margaret which can catch you unawares

approx

Some coral trout on that second one.

Have bagged out on big goldies on Kellaways once or twice but as mentioned hit and miss.

There was a large school of queenfish in a feeding frenzy on Kellaway reef as we motored from Bynoe to Darwin.

Caught some Big goldies in that area but more towards Darwin and close to shore on an incoming tide, we were using whole sardines jigged of the wharf.
