  • NORTH HAVEN - JAMIE ROBLEY - As Featured in Trailerboat Fisherman Magazine
    NORTH HAVEN - JAMIE ROBLEY - As featured in Trailerboat Fisherman Magazine The mid north coast of NSW has a number of excellent destinations to suit everyone from the serious offshore angler to the casual weekend family fisho. Pretty much everything from marlin and wahoo to bream and bass can be caught in the waters along this part of the coast, depending on the season. Just to the south of Port Macquarie is the mid sized town of North Haven, which is one of those very versatile places which would appeal to most people who enjoy casting a line. North Haven is situated on the northern side of the Camden Haven estuary system and there are several other small towns also in the vicinity including Laurieton and Dunbogan. So although the area has that laid back north coast appeal, it’s certainly not backwards as far as shopping and facilities go. I had previously visited the area on numerous occasions, enjoying the high standard of estuary fishing there. During my latest visit however, I got to sample the offshore scene and didn’t come away disappointed. My mate Wayne towed his plate alloy boat up from the Central Coast and we camped in our tents for a few nights at the Brigadoon holiday park. Sadly, some heavy rain greeted us as we arrived, which didn’t make for very suitable tent setting up weather. The rain soon passed though and we enjoyed a few days of fantastic weather and great fishing, with plenty of kingfish and teraglin to keep us busy. OFFSHORE OPTIONS It was interesting to check out the depths and reefs systems along this part of the coast.
