Sydney_fisho Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hey, I'm just wondering where the oyster leases are in Botany Bay, I've heard there are a deadly bream and flathead spot but I have no idea where they are If someone could point to me where they are that will be very helpful Cheers sydney_fisho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishingGuy Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Hey Sydney_fisho, I believe that most of the oyster leases in Botany Bay are down around Towra Point and Woolware Bay. I'm not sure of specific locations but from what i'm told, they are located in this general area. When I drive along Captain Cook Drive there is some sort of fresh oyster business there which backs onto Woolware Bay, but i'm not sure if you can fish it.

fish53 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 The oyster leases are in Woolooware Bay. Up the back on the southern side and eastern side. Very shallow and you can get there without too many issues but be careful as there are also some disused racks along the northern edge which are not clear and can be a navigation risk. Bream and flathead as well as whiting available. Blue Swimmers also at times but no traps permitted, only line fishing for crabs permitted I believe.

FishingGuy Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 FYI Towra point inlet is an exclusion zone! Oh okay, sorry I didn't know but I thought line fishing was permitted. Cheers, FishingGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davemmm Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Woolooware Bay is indeed where you will find oyster leases. They dont fish anywhere near as good as they used to when the whole bay was full of racks. As Fish53 says your best bet is right down the back The map Katoe put up shows that it is part of the aquatic reserve the regulation reads :- Taking, gathering, destroying, injuring or interfering with any fish or marine vegetation (whether dead or alive), other than taking fish using hand held lines or lawful recreational nets from that part of Towra Point Aquatic Reserve referred to as the refuge zone shown in Schedule 2. I don't set my pots down there so it doesn't bother me much but there is no specific reference to invertebrates and it says you can use nets. I'd like to see their interpretation cause i reckon from the above description you can drop crab pots. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
