Lake Nunan Fishing Guide, Robe, South Australia

• Overview

  In South Australia, Lake Nunan falls inside Robe. The coast is 2.1 km away. About 6 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our South Australia listings. Start from Robe, 2.4 km down the road. Adelaide is the closest city, 271 km away. Others worth noting: The Pub Lake at 0.5 km, Lake Battye about 0.7 km, Lake Fox at 1.1 km, Lake Fellmongery about 1.3 km and Lake Charra at 1.7 km. This one is safely inside the regional boundary.

• Where to Fish on Lake Nunan

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Nearby survey and observation records mention black bream, flathead grey mullet, deep-sea flathead and cliff flathead. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. On Lake Nunan the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  February is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 19°C, while July sits near 11°C. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. Levels swing with the wet season, which moves the fishing about. April and May steady things again after the summer heat. Lake Nunan fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Recorded parking is 800 m off, far enough to travel light. Overnight stays are possible about 1 km out, where camping is mapped. There is a toilet block some 640 m out. Carp respond to sweetcorn or boilies fished patiently on the bottom near feeding areas. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, The Pub Lake is 0.5 km distant. Check the position on Lake Nunan before loading the car.
