​LOCAL FISHING SPOTS

​LENNOX HEAD

Anglers can wade out from the southern end of Seven Mile Beach across the reef of exposed black rock to fish for bream, mackerel, snapper and the occasional big jewfish.  For the more adventurous (or foolhardy) there is a spot just south of Lennox, near shag rock, known as ‘The Spike’. Some people have lost their lives fishing from these rocks and others have been known to rope themselves to a metal pole thoughtfully driven into the rocks as a safety measure for anchoring anglers when a freak wave breaks across the exposed rock ledge.
In the right conditions, boats can be launched from the southern end of Seven Mile Beach through a break in the reef known as ‘The Moat’. With a boat it is possible to go outside and fish the pinnacle reef located just off the Point.
