Approximately 25km south of Steep Point, Crayfish bay is home to massive Tailor, they can be targeted with metal slugs and poppers along the reef beach. Small Whiting and Tarwhine are also abundant in the sandy patches of the beach. The point produces Baldchin Groper and Pink Snapper however bait is best for bottom fishing here. Large shallow diving minnows can be used to target Mackerel that come in close if the conditions are good.
