Has anyone ever fished around the Crowdy Head boat harbour? If so is it worth having a go up there?

Hi all, looking to upgrade my Daiwa Laguna 2500 reel to something better, im only using the reel for bream/flatty fishing, my budget is a maximum of around $300. All suggestions would be appreciated, cheers guys

Hiya Eli,
I’ve been having some success with the zerek live shrimp (which is the smaller weedless version) with a constant slow roll and occasional flick/hop. It’s been performing well on bream in Sydney estuaries last few weeks.
Though I’m a little sour about them at the moment as I lost one tonight, severed at the tail on the first bite after an hour of nothing.
while it’s not the absolute shrimp specifically, this video covers shrimp lure retrieves a bit more generally and focuses more on a hopping technique.Give the temperatures at the moment I’m not sure there’s such a thing as too slow a retrieve. Fishing it slowly with small hops or a slow constant roll with occasional hops should see the bites.
got one on the zerek live, only a small one but thanks for the advice

This info would have been good to add in your original post!
All that considered it could be more about locations then.
Find a bit of either natural or man made structure, even under moored boats.
Like any fishing you just have to keep plugging away at it to find success
Yeah it definitely would’ve been but i was too annoyed about the flathead i dropped last night to concentrate 🤣🤦♂️

Really appreciate all the advice and tips guys, bit more information on what im using...
i have a 1-2kg samki zing 3 rod, on a 2500 daiwa laguna reel, spooled with 6lb braid... now for leader i was using 6lb and 10lb depending on the lures i was using (3inch minnow, 2inch grubz and one of those fat crank baits) most of the time on the minnow style baits i was using a 1/16th jighead on the 6lb leader, i lost 2 flathead over 50cm from poorly picking them up and scraping the leader on the fishes teeth...
I went out again today, with some zman grubs and a 1/16th jighead again but unfortunately only got 1 small flattie. (Also im fishing im a marina lots of structure)
All my soft plastics are regularly re applied with S factor also.
For lure choice i have almost everything under the sun, I’ve been giving the Zerek Shrimp a go, and hooked onto something but i lost it, my concerns is im using it wrong and tips on this also?
I will take all of this generous information and get out again after the bad weather, cheers guys

Hey guys, im new here... but i need some advice!
Ive been fishing a lot recently around forster/tuncurry and i’ve caught some quality flathead on soft plastics (3inch slim swimz) With all the flatties being around 35-50cm, im curious as to why i haven’t caught any Bream aswell? I have seen a few around and caught a good one on cut bait! Any advice on how to improve flathead and bream fishing would be much appreciated.
cheers guys!!
