G'day everyone!,
My first post on here just wanted to ask for some advice. In a couple of weeks some mates and I are hiring the 'skinny' from Hawkesbury Afloat from 8 am to 12 noon it only has a little 9 hp motor (see details below) so we can't venture too far from Brooklyn. Any help is greatly appreciated as it has been a long time since wetting a line. I bought 3-5kg 6'6 Shimano Catana and a 2500 size reel with 8lb braid.
Main questions are where to fish I grew up in Newcastle and have never fished the area so not sure of any spots.
Also I'm thinking of targeting Bream, Flathead and Tailor or anything that will give me some fun. I'm not sure what to use softplastics/bait/lures. If you could suggest a proven bait or soft plastics setup I would be very grateful!
Thanks in advance
PS: I'm happy to receive a PM if you don't want to publicise any advice.

There is NO BBQ on this boat. Bring along salad and a roasted chicken - a lot easier than a BBQ.
