kurtisjohnthomas Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I think Coffs Harbour is the most southern point that you get them consistently. But if you trawl the forums you will find info on Manly Lagoon. It once had Barramundi, Giant Herring and Mangrove Jacks. Doesn't anymore, but worth a read.

rjc123 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Very rare down here! Chances are if you stumble across one, it will be on light bream gear and you'll get smoked. Drifting a live mullet in the snags will find if there's any. Cheers, Tom Edited August 26, 2013 by mulloway man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtisjohnthomas Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 If anyone was to catch one it would be Craig. That guy gets into everything. Wouldn't bother with Lane Cove. I fish that place nearly once a week and never come upon them. I would think of places like Mooney Mooney Creek. Even Wyong River. Not sydney though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
