11,786-acre Storm Bay. Sector 11 Australian saltwater fishing map showing only directly measured AusBathyTopo 2026 cells, source-qualified fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage context, access guidance and current-rule links. Sector 11 trip-scale surveyed footprint within Storm Bay. The exposed bay south of Hobart connecting the Derwent, D'Entrecasteaux Channel and Tasman Peninsula. The displayed footprint is not a legal boundary or a claim of complete named-water coverage. The water tops out around 424 ft. The depth chart comes from Geoscience Australia / AusSeabed bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 11,786 acres wrapped in 50.6 miles of bank. An index of 3.3 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. 5% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. The basin spans about 16.7 mi end to end and 4.2 mi across at its widest. Its nearest charted neighbour, Storm Bay - Sector 10, is 11 mi to the west.
Regional occurrence does not mean equal abundance, child-specific catch rate, retention permission or a promised catch. Live state, territory, Commonwealth, protected-area and local rules always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

Start shallow in spring: australian salmon sit in 4 to 30 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 14 to 80 ft, and winter fish settle into 4 to 30 ft. The spot to know is Offshore hump, an offshore hump in about 58 ft of water that rates good for australian salmon in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | see map |
| Summer | 14 to 80 ft | dawn & dusk | Offshore hump (58 ft) | see map |
| Fall | 4 to 56 ft | dawn & dusk | Offshore hump (58 ft) | see map |
| Winter | 4 to 30 ft | dawn | open water | see map |
Spring puts silver trevally in skinny water — 4 to 30 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 14 to 80 ft; cold water stacks them in 18 to 80 ft. Offshore hump is the standout, an offshore hump at roughly 58 ft, rated good for summer silver trevally. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

Early season yellowtail kingfish use the shallows, holding in 8 to 45 ft. Expect a summer slide to 20 to 130 ft, then a winter hold in 27 to 130 ft. Put Offshore hump first on the milk run — an offshore hump near 58 ft that grades good for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

No facility from the cited Marine and Safety Tasmania boating facilities source was spatially attached within 3 km of this directly measured map footprint during the 2026-09-08 audit. This is an evidence gap, not a claim that public access is absent.

Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Tasmania waters are set by the Fishing Tasmania (current recreational sea-fishing rules) — and special regulations can apply to Storm Bay - Sector 11 specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Fishing Tasmania's live sea-fishing rules and licensing pages before every trip. Current species limits, licences for particular fisheries, seasonal and area closures, marine reserves, protected species, gear controls and biosecurity measures may apply. A directly measured depth footprint, fishing-spot marker or access lead is planning context only and never grants permission to fish, keep catch, enter private or port land, park or launch.

Storm Bay - Sector 11 is about 424 ft (129 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from Geoscience Australia / AusSeabed bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Official coastal monitoring from Tasmania Department of Natural Resources and Environment regional evidence informs the australian salmon, silver trevally, yellowtail kingfish roster for Storm Bay - Sector 11. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Offshore hump is the top-rated area: an offshore hump in about 58 ft of water that rates good for australian salmon in summer. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For australian salmon, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Storm Bay - Sector 11 is regulated by the Fishing Tasmania (current recreational sea-fishing rules). Check the official Tasmania regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
