marcel haber Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Greetings fellow fish raiders, I have been a silent veiwer to this website and am now totally hooked. I was introduced to fishing as a child and I know understand that to be a good fisho I must put in the time. Like most of you, fishing time is scarce and I look forward to the times I can spare a few hours to take my boat and my twin brother out onto the harbour. Are their any good sized bream in our harbour to be caught? We have only come across tonnes of throw back pinkies, do these fish grow to plate size bream or what? We launch our boat from tunks park and would like some advise on reliable breaming spots and techniques. Tight lines and happy fishing.

johnno Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 i personally don,t know no area in the harbour but for techniques i use a trace that is about 1-2m depending on where and how the fish are biting.

harold Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Marcel, if you go to the Gladesville brigde and look South on the Eastern shore (confused yet?) you will see there is a Marina there. Under this Marina are some brute Bream, I used to catch them there all the time on peeled prawns. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloosh Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Morning guys, Been an observer on this site for a while now, and i gota say its a great meeting point for ideas and info - well done . Regarding plate size bream twin, the harbour is packed with em! You can honestly catch a good handful at or near any marina/structure in the harbour - especially after a bit of rain..i do my fishing in the harbour between the bridge and the heads, i dont do much fishing inside the harbour bridge in the parra river, but my mates catch thumper breams on sp's there, especially @ Gladesville. If you're going out on the boat, try anywhere around sow n pigs through to the wedding cake. Regarding techniques, i use a really small sinker which some people might find unorthodox, and i berley up alot of pilchard cubes. i cut em at around 1.5cm a piece for the hook... Good luck, u might get urself a kingie running through the berley too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmac Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 ive caught quite a few good Bream around sow ans pigs reef, i like to anchor at the eastern end of it and fish the bottom of the tide, berley withbread, wheat and any oild fish scraps. the drift a peeled hawksbury prawn down the berley trail with no sinker. this method is very effective, and you will also catch trevally, snapper and kings with this method. i usually use 3-4kg gear. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

costello Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Mate there are thumper Bream to be had in the harbour. I personally would not eat anything caught on the Gladesville side of the Harbour Bridge. I find anchoring on a drop off in about 10 meters of water (need a depth sounder) burleying and casting into the deeper water gets me a couple of legals almost everytime. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some good bream in the harbour to be caught especially around high tide in sugar loaf bay and washaway beach. Youll find the bream up close to the rocks and sand, feeding on oysters and beach worms. Light line and small to no sinker works best. Good luck and "know" should be now and "advise" should be advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choad Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) weren't the toxic bream caught last year (which triggered the ban in pro fishing in the harbour) at Balmoral? A bream would have to swim past sow and pigs to get to balmoral from homebush, the reported source of all evil. has another study been performed which cleared bream as safe to eat? how do you guys decide where it's safe to take bream for the dinner plate?

Penguin Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Try Bantry Bay in Middle Harbour for Bream, we usualy get a feed there. And it is recomended that u only eat up to 150gr of Bream per month out of Syd Harbour. Im sure some Bream would have less dioxins than other Bream,they cant all have visited Homebush Bay, penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
