Fred's Ground is named after a rather large great white shark which constantly came around out there some 20 odd years ago. It measured somewhere over 6m in length and was seen very regularly by many boaties. Someone "affectionately" called the shark Fred, hence the name to this location.

This is a beauty of a spot to line up, but once there, you are guaranteed catches of a variety of fish. It posseses deep water, a broken bottom and is the visiting place for big Snapper and Sharks. Garfish are plentyfull on the surface, and schools of Tuna have been know to frequent these waters - a Mecca for the fisherman !

Hammerheads and White Pointers have also been spotted here. Whiting and Flathead are also abundant, and can be taken easily on cockles. Berleying the waters attracts the Snapper, best time to fish for them would be on the slack of the tide - when the tide turns.

This area is heavily populated by the recreational fishermen during November. A lot of boaters tend to drift over this ground to cover a wide area, then restart their engines and repeat the process.
