Coffs Harbour Fishing

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.
