We came back from fishing out there early last year and it must have been a very low tide, anyway there was a wall of rock blocking the boat ramp so there was no way you could get a larger boat in if that happened... you would have to wait till high tide... with our small boat we were able to just go around more towards wehre the beach was and land in there.... The bay itself doesn't allow netting and only hand held lines, so yes there are restrictions to fishing there if say I guess you are using long lines or nets - thats not permitted.... you can however use your rod ... I have not caught anything there worth keeping, however some of the blue cod are almost legal size.... again however i've only fished it a few times - i'm sure there would be good fishing somewhere around there.... The boat ramp there isn't in the best of conditions, i would think you would be better off launching from say mana and driving around there in your boat... however i think theres some great spots around mana aswell... i've never been out around there...
