Shag regarding small bay? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nooky

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shag regarding' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'small bay?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'small bay?' could be 'nook' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'nook' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'y' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nooky that I've seen before include "Congress" , "Sexual activity (slang)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
