Vesteys lake/creek area

Post by Young_gun_fisho »

Has anyone else checked out vesteys lake? I fish there a lot for bait (lots of small grunter, mullet etc.) but I do catch other fish. Have caught a few mangrove Jack and a small 35cm Barra, but my friend claims to have seen a few bigger fish. Have been snapped off once, most likely a jack.

The mouth of the outlet near the ski club would be a better spot.

But better still, head down to Casino Creek mouth.

Sometimes there are a few livebaiters there as well.

Seen some throw netters there under the footbridge taking under sized fish as well.

Agree with Tangels.

I was actually down there yesterday, didn't pick up any salmon this weekend but got onto 2 nice queenies.
On my way to catch a 1 metre barra... some day
:D
