Fishing With Sp's

[Faulks]

Hi Guys,

Looking for somewhere to go this weekend (within an hour drive of Sydney, I dont mind driving up the coast) to throw a few SP's around for Flattys and Bream..

I would be looking to do this by foot as I dont have easy access to a boat.

If I can get my hands on a boat where can I go?

Any spots or info would be great guys..

Thanks Lads, have a great week...

Mate if you want a great place to spin plastics for flathead Forshore drive at port botany is the go ive caught 17 flathead over the space of 4 hours the place goes off but i would not eat the fish as the water is contaminated from the chemical leake its such a shame i havnt fished it since but im sure it would still be good. If not try around the boat ramp and work the sandbar that is to the left of it.Take some small metel slugs as well because sometimes tailer and salmon heard baitfish in there and go nuts. Great for land based fishos with a few surprises to boot i hope this helps mate

Just be careful where along that shoreline you fish, as some of it is closed due to the plume.

Well there you go mate no fishing allowed hell i wouldnt even put my feet in the water there anymore

its such a shame as it was a kickass spot

[Guest Jewel]

DONT!!!

I know some people involved with the clean up.

The plume hasnt hit the water yet, but its close .......................... and VERY nasty stuff!

you could also try iron cove and fig tree bridge

they are pretty good places for sps

u need a low tide for fig tree tho as its best if u wade out onto the sandbar

Hi Jewel,

What is the Plume? Is the closure due to pollution?

Cheers,

Paul

BTW I fished Iron Cove on Saturday morning and got a bream and some good bites. It's worth a go.

Im a little naieve on this subject as well... what is plume?

[Guest Jewel]

The "plume" is what the spill is being called, as it originated on the Orica site and has spread out through the water table in a plume. Think of a giant fan shape.

The spill is a substance called EDC which was used in making PVC, VERY NASTY!!!

The clean up involves a series of wellheads on Foreshore drive (recently constructed) that allow the ground water and EDC to be removed and treated.
