You can catch snapper, kahawai, rig, conger eel, stingray, gurnard and other species from this steeply shelving beach. I was there one year when a bloke caught a blue shark off the beach and another angler landed a big stingray! Picture below. A fishing contest is held there over Christmas which runs for 10 days and is popular with campers staying at the rivermouth camping ground. This is a beautiful part of the world with excellent fishing. Also brown trout in the river. Excellent whitebaiting in season.
