Fishing
Who doesn’t love a spot of fishing in beautiful Jervis Bay? Whether it’s a spot of fishing from the local Huskisson Wharf, a beach fish or a organised charter, Jervis Bay has loads of scenic angling opportunities. Nautilus Apartments is positioned 50m from the Huskisson Wharf which serves as the main departure point for fishing charters, with operators such as JB Fishing Charters and Simo’s Afloat running trips throughout the bay and deep sea. Depending on conditions and target species, charters commonly fish around Point Perpendicular, The Drum and Drumsticks reefs, Middle Ground, Beecroft Peninsula, and the offshore reefs and canyons east of Jervis Bay. These waters are renowned for snapper, kingfish, flathead, morwong, bonito, salmon and seasonal pelagic species including tuna and marlin.
For anglers fishing from shore, popular local spots include Huskisson Wharf, Currambene Creek, Plantation Point and the rock platforms around Vincentia, where bream, whiting, flathead and tailor can often be found.
