Mind boggles what you would be picking up from Yanakie

Something to do with farming somehow perhaps as a lot of dairys down there.

Anyhow, if I was going to Yanakie and the weather was suitable I'd have a crack off the rocks at the Prom itself which is only 5 min up the road a bit further. This time of year you would be a chance of a landbased shark, a good snapper or even a king but certainly a few couta and salmon and whiting.
We usually walk out to Tounge point and 2 years ago had a double hookup on two monsters that smoked my mate and eventually buried me in the kelp, didn't see but may well have been a pair of hoodlums.

Check on the maps they give you when you go in (it's now free to enter since year or so ago, as well), but I am pretty sure the marine national park starts at the south end of Norman bay, so all that bay and eveything north of there (Squeaky Beach, Tongue Point, Whisky Bay Darby River and so on is all OK to fish. It's Marine Park, but not Marine National Park, so fishing (including spearfishing) is allowed, subject to normal regs. DefinitelyMarine National Park where fishing of any kind is not allowed to the south of Norman Bay and right round the Prom south/east from there.

I personally think its not too bad an example of balance - a lot of park where you can't fish but also a lot of places where you can.

Hey Vicspearo, I'm from Geelong too and have been going there for years. Less now as not as fit for the 5km walk and have a boat but occasionally do a walk down there. We have caught Big Gummies, Snapper, sharks, massive whiting, leatheries, couta, salmon, slimy mackerel, calamari and arrow squid, flathead, gurnard and a few other things I can't recall.

Fishinthere is correct with the regs.

Some pics from a few years back. Whoops actually the top pic is on the other side of the prom looking back at welshpool but you get the idea from it.

Hey Vic Spearo, i have an idea for you which u prob never done b4. Have you heard of Shallow inlet. On Yanakie side there is a track which goes to the shallow inlet beach, There is some submerged trees in the shallows literally 1-2m of water and BIG pearch sit under them. 2kg biggest on the spear. and if u can spear the schools of salmon, even better.
