Understanding Yarra Bay Artificial Reef and its Surrounds to SUCCESSFULLY Catch FISH! Botany Bay NSW

  • In this video you will see exactly where I catch quality table fish around La Perouse which is the eastern side of Yarra Bay in Botany Bay. And I’ll show you exactly how I do it too!
    I decided to do a bit of an overview of Yarra Bay and the surrounding areas since I haven’t really fished there lately. Any area with an artificial reef can really produce good quality fish if you know how to locate it and read its surrounds.
    Fortunately this artificial reef is situated on a bit of a high bank which fades off into a semi funnel of deep water. You can find the GPS coordinates by searching for it on google quite easily and should always be your starting point when fishing this area. Both shallow and deep will produce fish at different times and it pays to sound out and test these areas until you find where the fish are holding.
    La Perouse is a seldom spoke about fishing haven, it too has an artificial reef east of Bare Island however it has never produced anything good for me yet.
    Enjoy ♥

    Yum...flounder! 25cm and a b/l of 20. A light fry in some Tandaco lightly seasoned fish mix (whole fish), eat down to the frame, remove the frame and eat down to the plate. Delicious. 🧑‍🍳👌

    Flounder… one of my favourite eating fish. Requires a little effort but I fillet them, coat with flour, season with salt and pepper and shallow fry. I totally agree with use of spot lock for anchor. Entertaining & educational as always. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Mel! Is it possible to use a conventional anchor to fish the yarra bay artificial reef?

    • @spikesfishing
      @spikesfishing  10 місяців тому

      When I didn’t have an anchor I used to keep a reef anchor head in my boat with a U bolt for the artificial reef and also for tugs. Using a sand anchor could get snagged but if you have both you can quickly change the anchor over when you fish reefs 👍🏽

      Most boats that fish there are on anchor and I just did a google search for no anchor zones in Botany. There are a few spots where you can’t anchor I didn’t know about so yeah maybe have a look at the map online and it will help 👌🏽
