Fishing in Pirates Bay
Tasman Peninsula, australiaAbout
Two popular fishing locations on the historic Tasman Peninsula are Pirates Bay and Nubeena.Pirates Bay will always be more popular as the hub of gamefishing activity, where into April trailerboats and charter boats are off in search of hard fighting gamefish such as big southern bluefin tuna as they start to make a regular appearance offshore.Out past the Pirates Bay heads, the fishing opportunities are endless but assuming that most anglers will be fishing in smaller vessels, the weather will largely decide what is both safe and practical. If you have access to a boat, the opportunities as usual are opened up significantly.The Pirates Bay jetty is probably one of the most popular land based fishing locations on the Peninsula.
