Good Morning Everybody,

I am looking for some local information on the Coffee Bay, Hole in the wall area. I will be there for 10 days later this month and am looking at doing some fishing in the nearby areas. My questions are as follows.
1) Are there places to acquire fresh bait and tackle top ups in the area?
2) What species should i be targetting?
3) WHat is the coastline like down there, Ive never been to the area and cant find any recent info on it?

Any help will be muchly appreciated.
