Eurunderee Lagoon Fishing Guide, Mid-Coast, New South Wales

• Overview

  Eurunderee Lagoon is one of the Mid-Coast listings for New South Wales. It stands 1 metres above sea level. At roughly 7 hectares, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is a small entry by Mid-Coast standards. The closest town, Bulahdelah, is 17 km away. Beyond it, Smiths Lake at 22 km and Hawks Nest at 22 km. No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Eurunderee Lagoon

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. This is tidal water: the state of the tide decides where fish sit, so plan the session around it. Reed and marsh margins hold fish through the moving hours. Oyster and old piling give the only hard structure in sight. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include Australian sea bream, shortfin eel and castlenau's herring. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. Eurunderee Lagoon gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 12°C in July to roughly 23°C in February. Cold never becomes a factor on this one. Spring runs September to November and autumn March to May, and both fish well. Summer, December to February, brings heat, so fish early and late. The season on Eurunderee Lagoon rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. A camping area sits within 1.2 km of here. For the carp, bait a margin spot and sit on it; corn and bread still work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Bombah Broadwater, 5 km away. Check the position on Eurunderee Lagoon before loading the car.
