anthman Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Hi all, I'm Sydney based and thinking of going up or down the coast for a few days with my dad for some back to basics fishing! Looking for some suggestions on where to go. Would like to do some low impact fishing; * Collecting fresh yabbies (that'll be me working the yabbies pump) and soaking some baits. * Wading through sand flats - chucking small surface lures for whiting and bream. bibbed minnows for flatties. * Occasional light surf fishing using small/medium <30gram metals. * Maybe work some slapstix and stickbaits off a safe location(e.g. paved Rockwall) for pelagics What would you do?

connico Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 How far down the coast do you want to go down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthman Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Thanks for the suggestion, Harrington might be an hour too far. Looking for 2-2.5hrs north or south. Did the entrance a while back, that was ok but we were uneducated at that point, maybe time for a revisit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydney south Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Depending on where you live in Sydney. Think about Forster/Tuncurry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hill373737 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Its outside of your 2-2.5 hour range but Dunbogan would definitely meet your requirements - great sand flat for pumping nippers and flicking lures in Gogleys Lagoon near the breakwall or over the North haven side.

anthman Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Thanks heaps guys, will keep Forster in mind and reach out for ideas if that's the place we decide on! How's the entrance these days for land based hardbodies? Part of me feels it might be overfished (which would be understandable given the proximity to Syd).
