I have read so much about them being significantly down in numbers, are they still worth chasing "land based" in the cowan creek?

Thanks Adam, I was exactly thinking hard bodies...but those snags will be expensive!!! guess gota watch where you throw it

Hi Anglers! I have been trying to chase flathead for the past few weeks after recently relocating to Sydney. Been told at the tackle shop to try the Narrabeen lakes and so far have tried the bridge behind woolies, the lake's entrance and deep creek with little luck. Mostly I feel there are only small fish around, and I keep getting my soft plastics tail getting bit off at the lakes entrance! grrr! went though a couple packs in a 4 hour session Was wondering if I am doing anything wrong since after reading many posts and buying some guide books suggested there are decent flatties around Narrabeen and that I should not be seeing so little action after many sessions. Is it just not the right time of the year? Any advice appreciated, Thomas

Never beach fished, do you just go down the water to about waist high and start fishing?

Would flicking some SP under the bridges, wharfs and ledges in Botany Bay be a good start?

I'd like to chase land based snapper, not sure how feasible it is in Sydney. Also very interested in flathead too, use pilchard strips for these?

Thanks J, I think for starters anywhere to wet some lines is good it appears Sydney is so amazing for fishing and just gona have to try everywhere! without getting swept away by those swells!

Holy moly, i just checked willyweather, came from SA not so use to this type of swells!!!! what level swell is normally acceptable for rock fishing? below 1m?

Hi Anglers, I have recently moved to Sydney and have finally settled down to have the time to go wet some lines on the weekend. Currently live near Kingsgrove and would like to take the misses to go fishing early Saturday morning 5am-10am ish. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of where to go, I use a light rod with 4lb braid and prefer lazy bait fishing, but do have SP available as well. I would like to catch some bream and would love to land a legal snapper if possible! I'd prefer not to fish around the habour as taking the fish home to eat is the other half of the fun! Would anyone recommend a spot thats not too crowded and relatively safe? I am also really interested in rock fishing, but i think thats a bit too much to take the misses...unless there are some safe places? Cheers!
