Jervis Bay is only about 2 ½ hour drive South of Sydney and is one of my favorite
places to go fishing and take the family. The bay’s coast has numerous little beaches
with Hymes beach having claim to having the whitest sand in the world.
There are
a couple of pods of dolphins which live in the bay and regularly come and say hello
while you kayak. During the June to November you can see the Humpback whales which
often visit the Bays entrance and can be seen breaching, tail flapping or just lazing
around. There’s a large variety of fish in these water’s ranging from whiting to
Black Marlin.
Jervis bay is a marine park and there are parts where you can not fish
so check before you go out fishing. The area in pink on the map is strickly no fishing.
Check the marine parks authority website for any updates.
