are there any fish in Tassie?

Hi John, we are at at the ferry terminal at Devonport heading back to the Big Island after about 14 weeks. What a great spot Tassie is.
There are fish there - just a lot of water between them. Keep at it and enjoy.

Hi yu jb,
We were at the Bay of Fires couple of months ago and those who like fishing were catching salmon, but they were close in to the shore, not out in the surf.
If you can't do any good there, try off the wharf at St Helens, Bicheno and Triabunna.
Having said the above the main salt water fish caught is flat head and to be honest they are few and far between at the moment.
Enjoy Tassie, tis a great place, so don't tell your friends we want to keep it to ourselves LOL
Cheers

Oh Boy, are there fish there!!!

But you are looking in the wrong water mate.
Try inland for those magnificent Rainbow and Brown Trout. Can be fish with fly, lure or in one or two lakes even bait.

Hi John,
Mate I go over every three years on average for the fishing. I mainly concentrate on the world class fresh water fishery. I even have two Tassie mates who moved down their for the fishing. I know little about the salt water fishing. But every river, every lake teems with trout, not always easy to catch mind you , but that is the challenge. Send me a mm if you want specific spots.
Cheers Pete

if it was so easy they would call it catching - not fishing

only person that gos catching is Chuck Norris. He is so good when fisheries want to know exactly how many fish there are they ask him what hes thrown back

Hi all,
yes I have caught some fish ,the drought has broken LOL! its been bream and lots of them ,I only kept a few 35 cms for breaky as I dont believe in taking and not needing,my 7 yr old had a ball today catching about a dozen small flathead all too small to keep but he was stoked,what a top place Tassie is,I have met so many great people and I think it is the water,just dont drink it in ST hellensLOL! Nah just kidden I filled up there as the word is long term use is not good but they are onto it now,I spoke to a tackle shop and he said I will only catch salmon and Mullet on the surf and thats if they are running as the water dont seem to carry any food ?? hence the reason everyone likes fresh water fishing down here,well thanks all for your replies I reallyappreciate it.
