Softy 2,991 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Well Del and I have been talking about places to go for more weekend fishing trips (open invite) Plan is to rock up on a Friday night and leave Sunday. Camping is a must and needs to be right on the water (or as close as possible) so does anyone have any good spots they would like to share? Closer to Adelaide the better but 2-3hr drive is fine, thinking Yorkes mainly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brenton 637 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Around The Gap on Yorkes is pretty good.i used to go there on long weekends and not see a soul.There is good snorkeling off the reefs,a few kg from the rocks and other assorted fish from the beach.Chuck a right hand turn off the main rd at weetulta and head to the coast.The Gap is on the right but i like to go left and stay behind the dunes(cuts down on the wind)Just check Google maps etc because i think there are a couple of places called the Gap on yorkes....up near Cape elizabeth ain't bad either. cheers brenton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Softy 2,991 Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Carps - Thinking more Salt, more action most of the time. Tho i love camping on the river but the fishing is a bit of a let down... we plan to do a couple of trips up the river soon with the yaks.Brenton - Cheers mate will have a look on google maps and sus it out.

coight 0 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 the gap is closed these days! spewing we liked that spot too.. last time we went we caught swallow tail off the rocks on plastics, actually we did better there on plastics than bait. we did the trek down the hill at cape spencer, around the rocks untill you see a big ass rock with deep water ( cant miss it ) cast out as far as you can.
