Azza_Fishing Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hi I am going fishing this weekend and I was wondering where would the best place to fish in Sydney, with lures (Zman slim swimz and grubz). I would like to go someplace where you can catch big flatties and bream. I live in Castle Hill, so the maximum driving time I can do is 2 hours to get there. Any Suggestions?

noelm Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Probably best to target one or the other, Flathead are on the bottom "lurking" Bream are around structure at any depth (in my opinion) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryhard Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Closer still is Berrowra waters. Have a poke around both sides of the ferry. Although, it does get a bit of a hiding on the weekends. Have a look around Brooklyn too. Alternately there are walking tracks that will get you to some of the spots in middle harbour like Bantry Bay and fig tree bay. Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XD351 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 If you don’t want to eat the fish you catch ( or not a lot of them anyway ) the parramatta river has kilometres of walk/ cycle ways from parramatta down to meadowbank and there are all sorts of flats and snags to fish ( The guy on YouTube on the windsor bait and tackle channel is always pulling bream , flathead and jewies out of there ) also there is a sand flat at cabaritta point And around the putney boat ramp but i would be careful wading there in summer as the place is crawling with bull sharks , there are some options up behind the iron cove bridge also . Wading the flats at rose bay is another option along with the beach at balmoral , the creek upstream of roseville bridge had a good walking track and a few flats and snags to fish . Up behind halvorsens boat shed at bobbin head also has a track that follows the creek and it has some goos flats and drop offs . 2 hours drive from castle hill ( not in peak hour !) would put botany bay within range and there are acres of flats there - just watch out for the rays and numbfish - shoes are a must in any of the places i have mentioned . One thing i like to do is jump on google maps or even better goole earth and look for sand flats , then i get onto google street view and hunt down access points and parking . Don’t forget Narrabeen lake or the bays on the eastern side of pittwater either although finding free parking can be a challenge ! p.s you have some good bass fishing right on your doorstep - just follow the creek up from berowra to newline road .
