Spit Bridge/clifton Gardens/kiribilli Lavender Bay Under The Harbour Bridge

[mattycoss]

hi there

just wondering where some good spots are for night fishing

can you catch squid around the spit bridge/clifton gardens at all? also; is the fishing any good there in general? i know clifton gardens doesnt have lighting but does the spit bridge area at all? have never been there at night..and also the area around the harbour bridge...is the fishing good there? and are you able to eat the fish there more importantly? there seems to be a lot of boat traffic can imagine it would be fairly polluted but you guys would have a better knowledge of the area than me

thanks a lot!

Hi Matt,

There is a bit of light at the spit and it is a good squid spot at night with the lights on, try using a glowing squid jig. Clifton is a good kingie spot by day but not sure at night.

Try the any of the kelp beds were there is some lighting all along the hermitage foreshore is god try neilsen park off the western point or balmoral.

As for fishing at night one of my fave jew haunts is just off woolich ferry wharf and the channels either side of gost island

hope this helps.

If you are boat based then there are tailor are to be had most nights on a run in tide on dark and just after dark around the red blinker inside south head. This will last until end of April.

Avoid anchoring in any shipping channel as it is illegal and dangerous, the charts will show you where they are.

See my last post.

I was anchored about 50 m NE of the red marker. The trick is to have a good berly trail going. Use old prawn heads , bread, old fish frames, or any thing else fishy. Avoid the biggest tides as the berly travels too fast although sometimes its OK.

Its a bit of a problem as sometimes there are trevally and bream in the berly trail which require 4Kg lines and 1/0 hooks and no or minimum sinker, but when the tailor arrive these are promply bitten off, then when you change to tailor rigs they go and you miss out on the trevally as they will only take the light lines.

To catch a lot of tailor I use 15kg line and 80lb trace ganged 4/0 hooks. email me if you want details on how to do this or any other info.
