Ramps
Access to river can be gained via three ramps – two specifically for motor boats of the offshore fishing variety at the Marine Park boat ramp, West beach. A speed boat, Jet Ski and Ski boat lane further up river off West Quay. Also one directly in front of Rowing Club for man powered boats- rowing, kayaks, row boats, stand up paddle boards etc.
Weather & Tides
The bar is notorious for its ability to take the lives of the unwary, disrespectful or foolish boaties – always, always wear a lifejacket when crossing this bar out to the open ocean. If at all possible it is advisable to talk to a local about crossing the bar, or even better arrive at low tide to ensure you observe the nature and direction of the bar channel before leaving on your fishing adventure.
