wazatherfisherman Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hi Jake18 what type of tackle do you have? Darling Point, Rose Bay, Watsons Bay and Parsley Bay have wharves and there are land based spots at Hermitage Reserve, Neilson Park(both ends) Camp Cove and just south of Lady Jane beach that are all easily accessed- depends on what you're after. This time of year the most likely species you'll encounter from the shore are Bream, Trevally, Leatherjackets, Squid, Luderick and Tailor, with the occasional Salmon, John Dory and Flathead. If you are fishing the wharves use no lead and reasonably light line(no more than 4kg) if chasing Bream and Trevally. For the best chance of success use burley to arouse the interest of whatever is around. A simple but effective wharf burley is a loaf of white bread crushed right up in 2/3 of a bucket of water. To this you add a capful of Tuna or Pilchard oil and any bait-scraps to give it 'substance'. If you don't have any oil, a small tin of tuna, sardines or 'fishy' cat food will do. Just flick a couple of 'tablespoon' sized scoops out when you arrive and then try to keep a very light 'trail' going to bring any surrounding fish to where you are. Best of luck Waza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
