Kai Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hey all, ive been fishing this spot up the parra river, very far up, near the parramatta ferry wharf, for the past few months or so. Great spot but ive only been getting large(ish) bream ever since i started fishing there. When i got there, i hooked up with the ol' faithful bait of cheese and bread then dunked it in the water, not a meter away from where i stood. seconds later, i get a bite from this fish ive never seen before. Found out later at home that its a luderick (blackfish) and i measured it to be around 30cm. Do they normally swim up this far? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazatherfisherman Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 G'day and welcome to Fishraider. Nice Luderick, yes they go right up into the mangrove areas of the estuary. Primarily a vegetation feeder, but are sometimes caught on other baits including white bread. Well done! Reckon they taste better than Bream, although don't recommend eating any type of fish from that far up the river! Cheers Waza 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
