JimT Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) There is a jetty between Kissing Pt Wharf and Meadowbank Wharf just west of Ryde Bridge. River is narrow here so everything has to go pass this area. Has anyone sounded the bottom around this jetty so we can get an idea of what it's like there?? Would it be a potential spot for blackfish as well? Thanks in anticipation Jim...... Edited May 5, 2011 by jot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuffy Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Jot, that's getting a bit too far up the river to be keeping anything you catch. It's pretty much opposite the old Union Carbide site at Homebush - fish have 3 eyes up there. Tuffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfisherman Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I had some spare time recently and decided to take the wife out to dinner. After an enjoyable dinner at Concord I was surprised that I had my newly built bream flick stick in my car . So I persuaded the missus to join me just on sunset at this new wharf - which you can access by taking the first street left after you cross Ryde bridge heading north. I have my doubts as to the chemical integrity of the fish here but I was only catching and releasing. Anyway there were 5 other fishos already there baitfishing so I started to to flick lures around. Nothing until I changed to a small 1 inch curl tail lure from USA. Immediate smash as I cast to the mangroves and I pulled in a beauty bream of just under 30cm. Nearly lost him as he went straight for the mangrove roots. New rod pulled up fantastic. Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewNR Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Hi Andrew, Have you had a chance to get out? Jim......... Went past on Thursday gone. Been crippled with chicken pox then influenza. All was dead. Plenty of muddish bottom and no holes or real dropoffs except for the edge of the channels. The channel had a quick drop off which looked promising of the edge of that wharf 30m out. Hope that helps. And that was at high tide. The distance from shore changes there slot between tides.
