Dolfn, starting from
devonport and heading east, first good landbased fishing would probably in Tamar River for snotties, a hard fighting and tasty trevally. fresh chicken is the best bait, no sinker. Fish from the pontoons around the
batman bridge area.
Mt william NP has good
beach fishing for big flathead, salmon and gummies. Further down the e.coast are various rivers with some stud bream in them (
ansons bay,
scamander, swanport, etc) These are top fish.
St helens has ok estuary fishing for
garfish, salmon etc. Freycinet good for squid, f'head, salmon. Tasman peninsula has the lot, beach,
rock estuary and offshore if you hop on a charter from
eaglehawk neck. we have caught albacore early december some years, just depends on the current. the offshore bottom fishing is very good, scenery unbelievable but u need a good stomach.
OK round
hobart but better further south around
huonville for escaped atlantic salmon, some jumbos amongst them and good on the tooth. Can't help with west coast. Sorry 'bout rough typing, gotta go,
cheers,
yock
