Submitted by Mitch300491 on Mon, 2011-10-24 12:11
Hey guys,
In acouple of weeks time ill be heading up to Horrocks for a week, then back to moore river for the last week.
Just curious what kind of fish can be caught from the beach, and from a small boat up at horrocks. I know theres some nice tailor up there, but havent heard much about anything else. Any info would be good, as i need to start buying some stuff for the trip.

There was some awesome bream action in the bowes river at horrocks, we went up for the beach fishing, but the wind was so fast onto the beach that we couldnt cast into it, so we tried our luck and had an awesome time on bream in the river, not uncommon for 40cm+ fish, and heaps of double hook ups.
