This reef covers a 15ha area on the east side of Coochiemudlo Island.

It is made of 174 concrete reef balls installed in 13 clusters of 11 to 16 balls.

Each cluster has balls of varying sizes rising to almost a metre off the seabed.

The balls within each cluster are a few metres apart and each cluster is 80m to 100m apart.

East Coochie Artificial Reef Fish Species

The reef produces a lot of small fish, and a few bigger ones.

The main catch is pink snapper, bream, tricky snapper (“grassies), tuskfish and flathead.

Passing school mackerel are caught.

Fish the turn of the tide, be sure to move if you don’t get bites, and try to fish mid-week and at night when boating traffic is lower.
