    Carp Fishing in Sydney's South-West

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    Hi there, i am new to these forums, so apologies if this is not the right section to post in. I have done some reading on this forum and was reading various threads on where to find Carp in Sydney. I have heard that Chipping Norton has some lakes that might have a bit of Carp in them, and that Cabramatta Creek has/had some (the person who suggested Cabramatta Creek, said they checked it five years ago, so things may have changed since). So anyway, my question is, does anyone know of any areas in the South-West of Sydney that I may be able to fish for some Carp?

    I have heard that Carp are a decent fish to catch, they will put up a bit of a fight, which is all I am looking for, and that they are plentiful, so it shouldn't be too hard to find some?

    Although I have been fishing since I was a kid, I consider myself "new" and a "beginner", so any help is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    hi Gabba wlecome to fish raider!

    growing up in the western suburbs of sydney, i was was limited to what i could target close to home. i started fishing for carp when i was 10 due to the fact that they were readily assessable in my local park. I am now 20 with my own boat a and i still enjoy a good old carp bash down at the park!

    TACKLE

    carp tackle is quite cheap and easy to put together i prefer a rod between 6ft-7ft in length in the 2-4 kg line class, a 1000-2500 sized reel, loaded up 4-6 lb line mono or braid doesn't quite matter and 6-10lb fluorocarbon leader.

    RIGS

    when fishing for carp i try to use the smallest hooks possible preferably a size 6-8 suicide hook. when fishing in lakes and other places with little to no current i prefer to use a rig consisting of 1.5 m of trace attached strait to your hook. i use a double uni not to attach my leader to my main line. when fishing in current i use the same rig but with a float attached 1m above the hook, very rarely do i use sinkers when fishing for carp.

    BAIT

    while baits such as corn kernels, worms and dough willy catch carp, personally in local park lakes yo cant beat god old bread ! so many people go down to their local lake and feed the ducks with their stale bread unknowingly feeding the the car too! i find the best way to fish it is unweighted on the surface mimicking a bit of stale bread some one fed to the ducks. chuck in a few extra bits for burley and you should have some carp have a look at it pretty soon.

    LOCATIONS

    majority of local park lakes, creeks and rivers in western sydney should hold carp. They haven't been declared a pest for nothing! as long as your burley up you should see a few come up. Remember never to put them back and have fun

    hope that helped mate :thumbup:

    hi mate

    i spent many years fishing around peal beach,in particular off the rocks at the southern end.

    off the rocks i suggest fishing a whole pilli on a set of gang hooks under a float, this rig will account for tailor and the odd king that frequent the area. off the beach i tend to use half a pilli on a patonosta rig.

    hope that helps mate
