Monster Southern Rock Lobsters

A trip to Tassie isn’t complete without a drive down the east coast.

The North-East corner is a real gem. From Bicheno, Falmouth and of course, the beautiful Bay of Fires.

One of the little towns dotted along the coast is Saint Helens. It’s a great spot to base yourself if you, like us, want to make the most of Tassie.

Marcus Douglas runs Bay of Fires Apartments, and speaks passionately about the region.

“…Mountain biking, the fishing scene, Bay of Fires walks…you name it, it’s all here.”

Not only is the region breathtakingly beautiful, but the seafood on offer is mind-boggling.

Widely regarded as the game fishing capital of Tassie, Saint Helens’ offering when it comes to fishing is amazing. The bay is full of species, and for the offshore anglers, it’s only 20 off miles to the shelf. Here, you can catch anything from big Blue Eye Trevalla to a Swordfish! Those cool Tassie waters are also the perfect climate for Southern Rock Lobster!

Plan a trip to Tassie for yourself! If you find yourself in Saint Helens make sure you check in with Marcus and the team at Bay of Fires Apartments…and make the absolute most of your Tasmanian adventure.
