Fishing at Wonboyn Lake – South Coast NSW

The lower lake is a system of channels and shallow sandbars, which can be difficult to navigate.

Fishing Experience
Wonboyn Lake runs out onto Disaster Bay. However over the last few years the entrance to the ocean had been narrowing and filling with sand. Currently at the time of writing there is a slight opening, tracking out from the lake onto the ocean can be tricky. The recent weather conditions will always play a part.

At the northern end of the lake Mullaway, flathead, and bream can be caught particularly around the change of tides. The water can be shallow in parts and navigation may be tricvy.

A dominate red rock at the edge of the channel is a good spot for all kinds of fish, including, luderick, flathead, whiting, tailor and bream.
