Pukka Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Welcome to the site foxman Roseville is only a minute away from my place and over the past couple of years I've fished most of it's shoreline from a boat and the bank. The spots the guys have already mentioned are all great areas at one time or another, but don't be too disappointed if you have a few blank days up there, upper middle harbour can be like that.. a lot! In addition to the spots already mentioned, one of my favourite little lunchtime flatty spinning 'pozzies' is a small rock bar on the northern shoreline at Roseville, 20 or so metres downstream from the pipe bridge. On the outside of that rock bar is small deepish channel, which basically forms a 'tucker highway' for the flatties to lie in. The last of the run out tide seems to be the best time, but be careful of the oyster covered rocks if you decide to wade out to the edge.

Grant 39514[/snapback] Hey Grant, The National Park side mate. Dunno about bait, I don't use it at all these days, but I know no self respecting big flatty will turn up it's nose at a live poddy mullet. Under the road bridge is OK but very snaggy. Another worthwhile spot is on the opposite side to the National Park casting to the first pylon of the pipe bridge. I've been done good 'n proper by some unstoppables there in the past.

Pukk' 39535[/snapback] Hi guys, Just got back from fishing down at roseville bridge. Went up the lyrebird track fished some spots that looked perfect for bream and flat head but only caught a couple of whiting and some very small bream. Fished up and down to the boat ramp and caught nothing decent at all. I kept waiting for the mother to come but all i got was babies. Had an enjoyable day none the less! Thanks guys for all your tips. The best place i found was just down from the pipe bridge on a sandy out crop got a the whitings from there. Until next time happy fishing!!

Jaso Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Flick big shads into McGills hole on slack water for a shot at a jew. Try to get your hands on a copy of no no no's second DVD to suss out the spot. Basically it's upstream from the bride near the end of the driveway (start of Lyrebird walking track), just around the bend. 39485[/snapback] good info - always wondered where that was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizza Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 G'day, I've spent a good many hours fishing land based around the Roseville area, and I have found that strips of chicken breast is a 'gun' bait for large bream in the area. The fish are few and far between, but you need to be patient, and using chicken breast I can guarantee you'll increase your chances of picking up some snorker bream... Spizza.

heckendorfmortgage Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 About 5or 6 years ago there was an Indian fellow fishing down there under the bridge with light gear. Ended up latching onto something good. An hour later a big Jew was landed. Photo made the Sunday paper. Twas a good story. MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boppa Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 A well kept secret and it never came from me When you get to the start of the Lyrebird track and walk to the end and where it goes narrow Come back a bit to a grassed area If you fish off the bank there after a nice rain or in a boat after rain you should get some big ones WHY YOU MAY ASK NOW IS THE TIME TO ASK FOR THE FISHING WORLDS BEST KEPT SECRET Boppa PS Now is the time to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boppa Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Ok mate Because thats where we bury all whales, dolphins, seals etc that we find.

duke Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I was up there yesterday afternoon for a crack at some jewies in the hole further up at the turn of the tide - not a touch although the juvenile tailor were in plague proportions. Thats about the 10th time in a row with no success on the jewies... no luck at the bluff either. Anyone elso got any clues in middle harbour?
