Thats great news, something to listen to as i go to work on sat. If I cant be fishing at least I can listen to what Im missing.

Hi everyone Have been fishing the lower reachers of the Hawksbury over the last couple of weeks.Talking to the other boaters at the ramps, and through my own experance things have been preaty slow.To be honst Ive been coming back with nothing, its becoming abit embarsing and quite a joke with my wife and kids. This weekend I was determined to bring something home armed with plastics, bait and even awire leatherjacket rig. I wasnt coming home empty handed. The plan was to throw the plastics around Danger Island for an hour or two, if nothing head to juno and then into Pitwater if everything ealse failed. The boat was in the water just as the tide turned and begun running in. The sun was out and the day looked like it would be a cracker. As the first plastic hit the water I wandered if I was going to be joke at the dinner table again tonight, on the fifth cast my line pulled up tight and line begin peeling from my reel,must admit I had it on woosy drag. After a few good runs a 33cm bream came to the surface ready to be netted. With renewed enthusiasm the rest of the run in tide was spent casting plastics. The final tally was one Bream, three keeper Flathead, five under size Flathead, two Flounder and dropped two ? So tonight dinners on me. I still have a bit of catching up to do, guess I have to go again next weekend

There is a wharf just down stream of the boat ramp which can become crowded at times.there is a small beach just up stream from the ferry, accessable via picnic area which fishes well at times. The road between Wisemans ferry & Spencer runs very close to the river with some nice rock platforms right beside the road. Singleton rd runs along the sothern bank of the river & also has some fishey looking rock platforms. This road is dirt at the bottom end & is a no through rd. However being on the sothern side will get the sun first if your planing an early morning. hope this helps. good luck

Boat ramps are great places to spend some spare time (if you cant be fishing) Remember one time at Windsor boat ramp watching 2 young guys trying to launch there newley purchased ski boat. After 10 min with no luck they decided to reverise the hole rig down the ramp quickley and jump on the anchors which schould dislodge the boat. It was rather amusing as the car hit the slipery ramp and the brakes applied watching the whole rig slide backwards into the river. the boat did float off the trailer. but the wet back seat of the car was more of a consern. My first post hope i got it right
