SA - Coffin Bay

Sounds like you had a great trip fisher... Coffin Bay is such an awesome place to holiday. I have been there the last 3 years in July or early August to spin for the massive Salmon that hunt along Gunyah Beach. Those South Aus salmon pull like steam trains. I took the yak last year but never made it on the water with it because I was too intent on hitting the beach everyday on foot, and the current sort of put me off... Last year on one of the days there were huge schools of salmon every 200 metres or so, and I am talkin 200 + fish in a school all over 5lbs with the occasional bruiser amongst them. Sometimes they would sit 30 metres from the shore. It has to be one of the most magnificent places to spend a week fishing. In the photo you can see just how big these schools are. Sometimes the seals are a problem though, whales and dolphins jumping behind the breakers, magnificent. I will be heading again this year for sure... P.S. You can drive all along the beach there as you would know, just be mindful of the super soft sand that just seems to jump out from nowhere and bog the 4wd in a split second.... Lucky we took a shovel and also that my mate Tim a.k.a. Digger was with me because it is a hell of a long walk out of there... Clark

Hey willowonfire. I went to Gunyah one day just to see if the suby would make it - which it did, and pretty easily. I didn't drive along the beach though as previous experience told me it was super soft. I did get to Almonta a few times, but there was a lot of weed and not much in the way of gutters - I did get one salmon around 3 pound though. Looks like we might need to do a winter trip - which hopefully means the trumpeters won't be there either!  

Coffin Bay is a beautiful place been there a couple of times sightseeing and a half hearted fish love to go back there with kayak, very expensive for accomodation as well is it not? not sure how the car/kayak would hold up on roof racks for 7-800 kms  

Fisher that shack looks like the perfect spot to unwind for a week mate, great pics and yarn.

Indicative anchoring positions            many and varied .

Coffin Bay is actually the outer bay of a large and complex inlet which includes Port Douglas, Mount Dutton Bay and Kellidie Bay. The small holiday and fishing township called Coffin Bay is not on this bay, but is located between Port Douglas and Kellidie Bay. This causes much confusion, so this Guide uses the name Coffin Bay to refer to the entire inlet.

The whole inlet is very shallow with frequent sand shoals, so many areas are not accessible to keel boats. A channel marked by beacons leads all the way from the entrance near Farm Beach to the township, a distance of about 12 miles. However the sand shoal near the entrance has shifted since the beacons were placed, and some years ago the green entrance beacon had to be kept to port not starboard when entering. Local advice should be sought before attempting entry of this channel.

Tidal flows in the channel are very strong, so great attention should be paid to tide times and depths when sailing in this area. Oyster farming is a very big industry here, and much of the channel passes alongside these farms.

The township of Coffin Bay has useful services for cruising yachts – a small supermarket, a pub, fuel and water at the main town wharf, and water at the small yacht club jetty. The local caravan park allows the use of showers and laundry for a fee. The distance by road to Port Lincoln is not far, and a local bus service runs regularly.

Anchoring is possible in many places depending on the draft of the vessel, and this guide does not attempt to list them. Good shelter is available everywhere so it is best to treat a visit here as an exploration, with occasional grounding as a likely part of the experience!
