Coffs Harbour Fishing

Coffs Harbour is a coastal resort town that attracts visitors with its famous Banana monument, beautiful scenery and fishing opportunities. Coffs Harbour was named after John Korff, who named the area Korff's Harbour when he was forced to take shelter from a storm in the area in 1847. The name was accidentally changed by the surveyor when he reserved land in the area during 1861. With beautiful beaches, estuaries, and plenty of rocks and reefs just offshore, Coff Harbour is a top fishing destination in New South Wales.

Pimpernel Rock, which is a submerged pinnacle that is only several feet from the surface, is an area where a lot of Sablefish as well as the endangered Grey Nurse Sharks and other structure-loving fish hang out.
