Andyz123 picnic point,lambeth park you will get on to some quality bream and jewfish day or night.Blood worm,prawns,pilchards will be fine as bait,fresh mullet fillets work a treat there as well.There is a walkway there so you can fish many spots GOOD LUCK and look forward to reading your posts. chris.

Keflapod Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hey AndyZ, Give us some more information, ie: 1. Boat fishing or land? 2. What part of Sydney do you favour ? 3. Rock, beach or estuary ? 4. Day or night preference ? That would put your question into some perspective and we can give you some pointers.

quintrex480 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Which piers? Piers down at the rocks in Sydney Harbour, I use to fish there all the time and have lost a few rods to unattended rods there. I mainly use pilchard cubes down there.

boy53 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yeah, just gotta be careful there at Pier 2. One of my mate lost his wallet there when he was fighting the fish. Sometimes, that place is packed out over the weekend. Let me know if you are still not sure about the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keflapod Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Hey Andy, One spot that I know off the top of my head is under tom ugly's bridge where you can park your car in front of your rods. Like most decent land based spots it can get crowded, but because your car is near your rods, you can shelter or even sleep! Use pilchard halves on 2 rods for bait but don't cast more than 30m. Use live nippers in close (20m cast). Fish early morning up to 11:00am or the last 2 hours before sunset into the night or at night. Fish any time on rainy days. Other spots to try is the wharf on the Sans Souci end of Captain Cooks Bridge. Go early but remember that the wharf is used by charter boats and other boats. They usually start picking up at 6:30am or so. Get there earlier if you can bcos after that it will be frustrating to pull in your lines every 10 minutes(except on big swell days where the charterers don't operate - or shouldn't!). Burley the water below your feet for yakkas (try one for live bait for jewies) and pillie halves / nippers for bait on the rods cast out. These are the spots I used when I was land based 25 years ago - they are still popular. Both spots have lots of room but can still get a bit crowded. Hope this helps you out.
