Hi I'm a landbase fisher and was wondering what weather condition is best to fish in? Went down to Windang island a few weeks ago and didn't even get any bites. A local fisher said that usually that place is good but he said its too windy that why we're getting nothing. Can I get some help to improve my fishing trips. Getting tired of going home empty handed. Thanks Sorry forgot to mention that we were fishing with Pilchards and then prawns and metal lures.

wow was that boat fishing or landbase? If landbase you mind telling me where abouts. pls..... i love fishing but haven't caught anything for a very long time now.

Thanks for all your help. Still trying to find new places to fish from as once you catch one size of fish you want to go for bigger ones. Been going everyone weekend now. Can't seem to get enough of fishing. Was going to go for a road trip this weekend but didn't know any safe, good places to fish so just gonna stick with the local area. If anyone knows any places from Wollongong to The Entrance that are good and not off the beach (as i don't want to get my feet wet yet, but will in summer) it would be great to know. Thanks in advance.

Sorry could you guys help me out and direct me to your fishing location. Is it off the beach or rock base?

Thanks for your help. Yeh i can see that you can learn alot once you keep at it and you can figure out what it is need to catch those fishes. Just one thing. I usually fish with prawns but i can't seem to rig them on to stay on properly. Sometimes i would cast and it wouldn't land in the right place so i reel it back in and see that my baits gone. I've rig it in by starting from the tail of the prawn and following it through to the part just before the head and i've tried rigging it on like a piece of big bait how you go through the bait come out and go back in. Is there any other way of putting on bait so its stays on strong? Also i tried using a rubber lure on the weekend but didn't have any luck. Casted it out and reel it in abit and stop then about 2mins reel it in again. Didn't even feel any bites. Would it not work on small - medium fishes? such as breams and whitings? or am i just doing it wrong?

Also forgot to ask about the parramatta river side. I heard that is polluted and stuff and that you can't keep the fishes you catch from there. Is it true?? thats why i don't go and fish that end as i'm not sure if its safe to fish from that water way.

Thanks for that. I've read about the Container walls but not sure where they are. I head theres some around botany bay but not exactly sure what it is or where it is. is there landbase places around botany bay that you can fish from or are that areas off limit? I've been reading beach fishing lately and is something i would like to try. Would it be a problem if i have a 6" rode?? is that too short for beach fishing and is it hard? I've read about gutters and white wash areas but don't really know what it is i should be looking for.

Hi, I've been reading some of these reports but I'm having trouble finding fishing spots around the sydney area (preferrly the southern side of sydney ie: botany, cronulla, georges river). I'm after some landbase places as i dont have a boat. I don't have any fishes that i'm chasing, just somewhere where i can fish for fun. I love fishing now, go every weekend when the weather is good, but I'm running out of places to go. I've tried Guttamutta Bay, Tom Ugly's, Captain cook bridge, oatley but would like to try some new better spots. If anyone could help me, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks
