Rhys Reef is the Aspendale artificial reef formerly known as Rec Reef. It is a strong Victorian metro spot because VFA publishes exact GPS marks and separately identifies the eastern Port Phillip artificial reefs as productive inshore fishing structure.
Best conditions: Fish it as an inshore Port Phillip reef in settled bay conditions, especially when wind allows small craft to hold a line over the concrete-ball network. Sound the four published marks and keep a respectful distance from other kayak and small-boat anglers.
