Tuggerah Lake is the largest of the Central Coast’s interconnected 8,000 ha lake system. It is about 12 km long and 8 km across. The water, on average, is less than 2 m deep, shark-free and suitable for water skiing, canoeing, sailing, rowing and sailboarding. It is also appealing to anglers with blackfish, whiting, mullet, snapper, bream, flounder, tailor, flathead, jewfish and tar whine in abundance. Not surprisingly the channel, with its constantly changing tidal rushes, is a popular fishing location (sourced from the Aussie Towns website – click for more).
