boy53 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Hi Guys, I'd like to chase some king fish. I never caught King fish and I'm fairly noob at fishing I heard that there are lot of kings around Sydney Harbour now and hope to chase some kings or bonito from rock or around harbour (landbase). As I'm inexperience in rock fishing and limited knowledge to rock platforms, I don't want to go by myself. I'm willing to travel and preferable around syd harbour. Or if you have any good and safe spots for newbie, please let me know This sat tide is kinda good and if it's not raining, I'll go alone. Your name: Max Your Location: Sydney City Fishing technique: Rock Fishing Availability: Saturday Only Preferred location: Happy to travel Provide your own gear? I have 9ft and 13ft rod + reels Thanks for reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musty Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Im happy to take you rock fishing some time mate although im busy the next couple of weekends If your inexperienced I would be very mindful of fishing off the rocks, especially on your own. Make sure you tell people exactly where you will be fishing and what time you plan to be back, wearing an inflatable PFD is a great idea and NEVER turn your back on the sea. Good luck!

Nice, I just looked up google map. It seems that end of botanic garden could be good too. Garden Island looks really good spot but I don't think you can fish there.

boy53 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 double check if you can fish at botanic gardens, i thought u couldnt Botanic Garden is not a good place tho. I went to Peir 2 on Sunday 6am. There was like 10 people there and no spots left. So I went to Clifton garden and got there like 6:15am. Again, there were like 9 people !!! Wasn't even high tide and people were there. I fished for like 30 mins and a guy caught tailor, I would say it was under size but he kept it. I notice few other guys caught small fish too but they never put it back to water Stayed for another 10 mins and I left to Bradley's head to have a look. Wasn't that nice either lol. Finally I decided to go back home at 7am to sleep haha. FAILED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
