Plenty of good fishing coral trout, cod, trolling on the reef . the reef is about 50-100 meters of
the beach . You can nearly hit it at low tide pretty easy to find.
mackeral baracuda are plentiful too. Mud crabs are pretty easy to get too just use pots up the creeks. oysters there are great too.
Bathurst Bay is a great spot to relax & do some serious fishing. I could have stayed a month or more it was a beautiful place

Crab Sauce Recipe:
1 cup kecup manis (Malaysian sweet soy sauce available at most supermarkets or any asian store), 4 or 5 chopped hot chillies, 1 cup soy sauce and 3-4 chopped spring onions. Combine all ingredients except onions in a pan, bring to boill and then simmer till reduced to half the volume.Add the spring onions and pour over crab cooked whichever way you prefer.
This sauce is great for all types of seafood too, especially prawns. Enjoy!!

friar,
Reef up the eastern end of
Bathurst Bay. Western end sand and mud then a couple of rocky stretches alternating sand/mud, rocky, couple of creeks in between.

Austravel,
It always pays to take a few pots (rectangular collapsible $12 ones) if you like crab. You never know when they are there.
I see you are going to Ninian Bay. Have you been there before, and if not reply to this and i can help. We are going to
Bathurst Bay in early August, all things being equal. I come from
Gladstone CQ.
As far as i know you do not require a permit for
Bathurst Heads. IMHO.
Cheers,
Bros.
