Coffin Bay is renowned for its reliability when it comes to catching quality edible fish.

However it cannot be guaranteed that all the fish you catch will be of legal size but you certainly should be happy with those legal size fish you do land such as King George whiting, garfish, salmon, salmon trout, tommies, flathead, trevally, snook, snapper, kingfish, nannygai, and more.
