beach fishing spots

[Kara1]

good morning fish raiders. Just got myself a beach rod and was wondering if you knowledgeable bunch could enlighten me to some good spots around Sydney. Wasn't too keen on beach or rock fishing until i visited some relo's down in ulladulla and they took me rock and beach fishing for salmon and i caught my first salmon off the rocks on my first cast. So now i have my own rod I'd love to get into it more often. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers guys.

Are you based north or south Sydney? Every beach will hold different fish at different times. I used to mainly fish the northern beaches, and the location depended on wind, current and beach formations like gutters.

The best thing to learn is how to spot likely gutters or holes. If you can get to a high spot off the beach wearing polarized sun glasses you will see these areas as darker water. But check every session as the water activity constantly changes the sandbanks, so a gutter or hole may be there one day and not the next.

The best time for salmon in my opinion is early sunrise and sunset, especially if those times coincide with a tide change.

Hope this helps, let me know if you want any more info.

Cheers Leo

I'm out in the western suburbs but i fish lb where ever i can in Sydney, central and south coasts when i can get the chance. Been to narrabeen lake a few times but on luck. Haven't fished the beach yet. i know some what how to rig up a beach rod. Have caught 50cm salmon and a 42cm bream. Not bad i say for my fists 2 goes. Know a little about reading gutters so I think I'm half way there. Just need some different spots and maybe a little more coaching on things i don't know. So any help is so appreciated. Cheers.
