THEJET Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Hi All, I am 15 years old, i live in Carlingford and have recently purchased a "kayaks 2 fish nextgen 10", sick kayak BTW I have taken it out on a few early saturday mornings, but come back with nothing Been to Narrabeen lagoon, Apple tree bay boat ramp and Balmoral, flicking soft plastics for flatties and hard bodies for bream and flatties. Haven't really got into bait yet, should I?? (I do want to get into live baiting for kingies) But i am just needing some general guidance as to some great saltwater, (and freshwater) fishing spots and how to fish them. (trying to stay within 30-50 minutes away) Cheers all, and any guidance is great guidance Edited September 22, 2019 by THEJET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squ!rt Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 crosslands reserve is pretty good for kayak and flathead, the place i circled is a decent sand bank, caught several flathead there years ago, also you can hire kayaks if you dont have your own, good little spot on that bend for flatty and bream, put the kayak in further up where it says "crosslands Boat ramp", and drift down you get some decent little bream in the straight before the corner.

Nyxy Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 as what was said before, you should try around lane cove river especially Linley point to Cunninghams reach. theres good water movement and decent channels and flats. ive caught a couple 35cm flatties there on SPs. if you throw around the bridge pylons i'm sure you will get onto something. i live in Ryde so that's my usual go to for a couple hours of fishing. ive just finished my preliminary tests so for the next couple days ill go down and post some reports. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEJET Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 I don't want to be taking over anyone's secret spots but just wondering about good kingfish spots off the kayak I've only ever caught one kingie (55 cm) and that put up a sick fight (on a dead snapper's tail🤔🤔🤔, undersize snapper were all i had been catching, I was trying to get yakkas!!) I want to get a legal one off the kayak! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking of going to balmain wharf and hitting the underneath of that suspended slab, maze of pylons underneath it, would have to be a few bream under there If i didn't get anything it's probably a 1 km paddle from there,(bit scared of crossing the channel though, with all the ferries around) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On google maps it looks like a bit of a sandstone wall around the point so dunno if i could launch it there (end of Lookes ave you can see the wall) Might be able to launch it at the end of Nicholson st Or that could be a private jetty Dunno summer holidays are coming up, so lots of fishing and i am looking for some new spots to go to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk your kayak down along a gravel path to the wall area you mentioned. In the right is a small beach area. (At low tide you can crouch walk under it to other side of tugboat wharf. ) Launch the kayak from that sand area. I've seen kayaks get put in there no problem. As for fish, it's a good area and can take some work. From shore, good for decent bream, mid size flathead. I've also seen squid , mullet, swimming by as well. I've seen water busting so kingies or salmon would be about. Are there any other spots like this that are near and would be better fishing? I went there but didn't have a rod and just thought it could be a good spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
