dsaun Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hi All, Wondering if anybody can help. My dad is coming over from the UK this xmas and wants to do some carp fishing whilst he is here. I currently live in Clovelly over in the Eastern suburbs and have researched that there are plenty of carp in sydney's West. Does anybody have any suggestions as to where I should go and what size of carp may be present? Any help would be much appreacited. Cheers David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krispy ! Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 The ponds near the sydney airport hold some. I've only tried there once though and caught a few smallish ones.There is also the park at the end of george street on the parramatta river not the cbd, you get some thumpers there. I used bread and corn. seriola lalandi, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulthetaffy Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Manly dam too holds plenty, so i've been told, but that's getting a bit far north I guess. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjustedpete Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Dont do it!. You're Dad is coming over from the motherland and wants to do what he does there. No way I say. Mate, you can take him fishing aussie style. An early morning fish off Darling point wharf or maybe one of the wharfs at darling harbour. hire a tinnie and hit the harbour. There are plenty of places around your area landbased. If money isnt too much of a problem a charter is a great way to give the ole boy a treat. He will go home with a tale to or two to tell his mates down the pub, Im sure. We have a sponser on this site that will give him a day out to remember. Discount for raiders too. Too many choices and not enough time. Carp fishin', only if Im dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anroco Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 If you want to travel West you can try Nepean River (also catch Bass there) See link.. http://fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.ph...380&hl=Carp CHeeRS Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, take him fishing/squdding at La Perouse, tell him that he is fishing from the spot where Tom Cruise got chased by a helicopter in MI2. Or Blues Point where he has a great view of the Sydney Harbour (and might even land a Kingy) Clovelly/Coogee area has some pretty decent rock fishing areas but can be a tad dangerous if youre not careful.
