Nah the part where henry lawson drive is right next to the river, where the road goes down and then up

Fish at Picnic Point off henrly lawson drive, good bream, flathead, and possible jewie, and its right next to the main road, so should be fine for night time

Hey mate it works fine, but its really expensive like $35 a kilo, and tackle shops don't always have them so I usually check with the tackle shop if he has any.

Squid tend to follow bait fish, so they tend to be right behind the yellowtail, walsh bay is pretty deep, and yellowtail usually like deep water with some light nearby where they sit close to the surface, lurking beneath them are usually large numbers of arrow squid. I've experienced this in Botany bay, one night we were fishing really deep water and trying to catch yellowtail, but I kept catching arrow squid on bait with my line only about 2-3m in the water and we were fishing 15-20m deep. So the answer is simply squid go where ever the bait fish sit.

the lowest air pressure I caught on is 1001, but it was like 30mins before a thunderstorm hit, I reckon as long as the air pressure is above 1000 you still have a good chance, i've talked to many experienced jew fishermen, and they all say they've caught jewies on high and low tide, on high air pressure and low air pressure, day and night, theres always a good chance, bait presentation and spot and fishing around the tide changes is probably the most important.

That's the beach sometimes it produces awesome results, but most of the times its pretty miserable , you should be rewarded soon with your persistence

The harbour is infested with big bream, just pickup $5 worth of breast or thigh chicken and $2 worth of parmesan cheese, and cut the chicken into strips, sprinkle with parmesan and you're almost guaranteed some bream, I've caught bream, snapper, flathead, flounder, tailor, just about anything with chicken, It sits on the hook really good and its really cheap, good luck!

We fished the beaches last night too, didn't get any hits, it felt like daytime because of the full moon. Better luck nextime

Conditions are pretty good tonight, 9.45 high tide, low air pressure, and supposedly the jews love feeding after the rain/storms, I'll be at work tonight sadly, definitately go out tomorrow night though.

Your persistence will one day pay off , i'm hoping to try the beaches, tomorrow night, 10.50pm high tide

I'm in the same predicament, 1hour drive to any decent beach...Send us a message when you want to go down south, ill tag along ,

Down south, at Thirroul beach, ive seen quite a few caught at the beaches down south, but the gutter I've fished the last few times, has produced a few times for a friend of mine, his biggest this year was 110cm.

SgtBundy, the closest ive been to a jew is a few nights ago, the guy next to me caught 4 soapies measuring between 55-65cm. It was an awesome sight, but I didn't get anything , going down to that beach again sometime this week to try again, your free to join me

At least your still trying, so your still trying to catch your first jewie? I'm trying to get my first aswell...

I've usually caught tailor around the tide change and mostly at night, but also in the day, almost any NSW beach can produce (if they are there). I've seen people fishing for tailor using a glowing float, however, I haven't tried this maybe you can do some research about that.

Yes, everyone that has a boat is really privileged lol, I haven't caught a legal fish in 5 trips, and I drive an hour just to get to any water. I just came back from Dolans bay caught a 24cm undersize bream and some undersize snapper, but we keep trying, one day...hopefully will get something worthwhile

@Holls, I think the small blackfish eat anything, i've caught them many times on chicken aswell.

maybe this is what your looking for, just a few images though? http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/bottom-of-sydney-harbour-finally-surfacing-with-3d-images/story-fni0cx12-1226947671319

they're definately not poisonous, I think its just there taste and meat quality isn't as good as the other flathead specimens.

Yes, it is sad, but mail is dying and it was inevitable, the government isn't doing enough to prepare Australia for the future, most jobs in the future will be technology-related, to be honest I think if the government doesn't make the right decisions right now, Australia will be really behind in the future, alot of the jobs can be replaced by computer, that's why the workforce needs to adapt to those changes and fast or else there will be alot of unemployed people left behind. IT is the future...

Im guessing kingfish?

I've caught a legal bream in the georges river on a piece of plastic straw. I was desperate to fish and had no bait or lures, just a rod a sinker and a hook and a drinking straw. As I was reeling in I got a hit and pulled up a 25cm bream

Yeah gazza, it is a mad bait especially in botany bay, we've caught almost everything on it. But its always good to have some pillies with you just in case the fish aren't interested in the chicken at the time.

Hmm interesting, next time I'll have the net ready, now that I know they'll go for most baits

Was fishing botany bay late at night yesterday targeting bream and jewies and I started reeling in squid stuck on my chicken bait. They were small squid but they kept coming up one after the other, but the problem is they kept letting go as I tried to land them. Has this ever happened to anyone before? They would have been great live bait for jewies thats for sure. No jewies yet, but some legal bream, octopus and plenty of big eels. Was great fun though!
