coventries reef
hey everyone i am heading out to a couple of secert king george whititng and occy spots on friday and then out to covs, i will be mainly diving to start with and will only keep what i shoot. now my question is, if i want to fish coventries ( strictly catch and realse) what sort of fish can i expect? i don't mind putting back dhuies and pinkies if on rod, aslong as i have fun catching them. so any tips or spots near there worth trying? if you dont want to tell anyone your secret or tricks of the trade you can pm if you have any helpful hints, in return i will give you my king george whiting spot ( you wont belive how big they are and how many there are).
Also anyone heading out there? ill be diving it for the ussualy kingys and attempt for baldies and breaksea. and i have seen and shot macks there before so ill try get one of them to come in if they are there. ill let you all know how i go :) good luck to everyong else heading out, happy hunting

plenty of herring at covos
and when you catch them you can watch them walk on water as the sambos will snatch them off the top good fun to watch

Get a nice burley trail going
Get a nice burley trail going mate and like snappermiles said the sambos should come in for a look. Also there is usualy schools of skippy and pinkies if you find a nice lump. Ive also caught a few tailor out there too. Your success rate will tripple if you fish there at sunrise or sunset too. Good luck bud

If your after tasty bottom
If your after tasty bottom dwellers then id head out a bit further to the 3mile. Plenty of nice lumps out there to anchor up and burley on. Uve got a beter chance of a pinkie or a dhuie out there along with the other usuals.
