Hawkesbury At Marlow

[leonardroy]

G-Day Guys,

Last weekend I spent fishing around Marlow & Spencer part of the Hawkesbury. This area looks like it would produce good Bream at the right time of Year And suitable tides. Tides seemed too big when I was there and I only boated three Bream.

I was wondering if any of you guys know the area and can advise me , as to the best time of year etc. Any help at all would be appreciated .

Good fishing to all, regards Len.

    to the site Leonardroy.  Can't help a real lot with that area - other than - stick with tides that have less than a metre flow between top and bottom - lot less run in the water.  If you can get your hands on Bruce Schumaker's old video on fishing Sydney, then it has a specific segment on bream fishing up there.

That Bruce Schumaker video has been rereleased, maybe even on DVD. It is certainly a good no-nonsense view of Sydney fishing and a very worthwhile watch.

Just around the corner from where you hire the boats at Spencer

ther is a big log on the left hand side (the cannon) anchor there and tie off to the shore, top bream spot.

Hmm.

When its running hard at Marlow... Send one of those yellow berly baskets down the anchor line filled with Chicken Pellet, sprayed with a bit of aniseed oil. Then rig up a mini patenoster rig (with sinker on the bottom) . Use light gear, put out as many rods as possible and pray.

- Works for me..

Cheers

try spencer when the tides are bigger and marlows when the tide is smaller. Great fish there at times but it's been a little teprimental latley. Usually the best time of year down there is late summer/autumn. But you need fresh bait, live nippers, live prawns, fresh herring etc.

G-Day Pedro, Thanks mate for the welcome and the help you gave me .I have tried a few video hire places for the Fishing Sydney by Bruce.schumaker., but so far no luck. Maybe I can buy it somewhere, so if yourself or mates know where I can pick up a copy I would be grateful.

Mate I put that report in and hoped I might get a reply. First there was you and now Macman, Gaff, Viking & Kevvie all with great suggestions, you sure are a great bunch of guys and it makes me glad that I joined "FISHRAIDER'.

Good fishing From Len.
