Hello dutch, I have not had a dive in torq for a long time, but I used to enjoy just the fishermans beach area. used to jump in near the boat ramp. there's some nice grass beds and rubble grounds. I have shot some nice Kg's there, plus the usual's. Good chance you will see big schools of salmon there too. On a clear day you can see the weed/reef patches from shore. If you have transport, Pt impossible is good, also breamlea/bancoora (when there is no surf) And blackrock is a good dive. If you swim out about 500m you come to a wicked reef. |

Is this the beach you're talking about? http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&q= ... a=N&tab=wl I just searched for fisherman's beach, but only found fishermans cottage... Also, is Pt Impossible a surf beach? How would you spearfish there =/ |

hey mike my dad lives in torquay and i go down there every second weekend, (so im sort of a local) that beach that u thought was fishermans beach isnt the one tvolke is talking about. im pretty sure that spot hes talking about is opposite the park near the boat ramp. http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&q= ... a=N&tab=wl Pt Impossible can be a surf beach only when its really rough, ive never surfed there myself because theres generally no surf. thanx for the help tvolke i will try fishermans beach this weekend |
