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. Inshore and Nearshore Coffs Harbour fishing could reward you with African Pompano, Australasian Snapper, Bluefish (Tailor), Yellowfin Bream, and Mangrove Red Snapper There are also many species of sharks, including Bull, Dusky, Great White, Gummy, Sandbar, and Tiger sharks. A record fish that has been caught off of the Coffs Harbour coast was a 597-pound Northern Bluefin Tuna. Offshore Coffs Harbour fishing offers a wide range of species that you are not able to find in the US. You could catch Australasian Snapper, Australian Spotted Mackerel, Dogtooth Tuna, Narrow-Barred Spanish Mackerel, Peacock Grouper, and Sablefish. There are also, Blue Marlin, Mahi-mahi, Swordfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and Wahoo.
