Michael.P Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Under the Roseville bridge in Davidson park would be perfect. There is a huge park area as well to kick a ball around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Ranger Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) How old are the boys? Assuming they are youngish I'll suggest Clifton gardens. Nice place for Mum too if she wants to relax. Playground, Picnic tables,Toilets, showers lol beach and a real nice Jetty for fishing. http://www.hellosydneykids.com.au/clifton-gardens-mosman-sydneys-best-beaches-for-kids/ Bear Edited September 29, 2016 by Noo2OzFish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parking is pretty expensive, so if you don't want to pay I suggest you park at the top of the hill just outside the gate and walk down. richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drop off my son and gear and park on top. He's 15 going on 20 lol.. And good for carrying it back up the hill when the day is done. Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael2203 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi, Plenty of places around Liverpool (Chipping Norton Lake), then down to East Hills (I take my kids to Fitzpatrick Park). My girls love going down to Carrs Park (near Kogarah). If you don't want to keep what you catch, try Cooks River (Tempe or the Kymeegah Boat ramp). Happy hunting.

Mike89 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Balmoral Beach is just by Clifton Gardens and is also a nice place to bring the family with the beach and some local shops for take away lunch and/or coffee. Fish off the jetty. It's my go-to spot for just about everything so highly recommended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Coles prawns and chicken breast has caught me everything there from bream to flathead, trevally, even salmon! Bring a bit of bread and mix it up with some water and little pieces of bait and throw a small handful in every 10 minutes or so. Should get them going. As far as rigs go a running sinker to swivel and 40cm trace should get you on to most bread and butter species there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMBERJACK Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Balmoral Jetty (not the U shaped one) is the way to go if your kids want a real blast too! ADDED BONUS: You could relax on the beach and there are plenty of trevallies too! They really fight hard on light gear btw. Cheers, amberjack out. Fish On!
