This is the area where I grew up.
All these photos are from the back yard of the house I am sitting...Yeah I know, it's a tough gig, but someone has to do it :). The pics are a bit misty due to a sea mist that has been hanging around all week.
The Shoalhaven River. Nowra city is just to the right. North Nowra is directly in front. So how good is the fishing around here, you ask...Well, let me tell ya...Top right is the northern edge of Jervis Bay, the birth place of Fishing World Magazine. Although their head office is now in Sydney, for many, many years the HO was right here in Nowra. Fishing around here is good enough to have established the number 1 leading fishing magazine in Australia.
I am pretty sure that fishing is not allowed any more at North Head. But that does not change the fact that Jervis Bay North Head is regarded as the second best land based game fishing spot in Australia...Second only to Steep Point in W.A.
Looking north (still in the back yard of course), it's a bit hard to see in the mist but that is Shellharbour with Bass Point just behind it. Well the new estate area of Shellharbour which they call Shell Cove. Done a lot and I do mean a lot of fishing around there. Just north (about 1 hour walk) is Windang Island where I have done even more fishing...so much so that I am on first name basis with all the periwinkles :). Actually it is not very clear in that mist, is it? I can see it clear as day but the camera just can't see through the mist. Where the small hill in the back ground meets the larger hill in the fore ground you will see a small dark patch, well that is Bass Point.
Looking south over the Shoalhaven River. Nowra city CBD with Jervis Bay in the back ground...What can I say...It's a tough gig :)
I cannot escape it...I cannot even hide in the garage...
At a rough guess I would say about 120 to 130 km of ocean views over farm land. Bass Point is about 60 or 70 km away and Jervis Bay would be close to that too. A stretch of coast I know well. In fact very well...It is where I grew up.
Yeah, I know...I know...You don't have to remind me...It is a tough gig but I will manage...Just wish I had not done this to my finger, otherwise I could have done some fishing while I was here :)
Actually looking at the photo. I think I did a pretty good job putting the tip of my finger back on.
