russell Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Nice site, glad I found it & will stick around. I'm trying to think where to take my parents, (great emoticon btw!!) and 2-y-o daughter fishing when they come up after Christmas with my nice new rod (a present). I have the SPs bug (though have only tried them a couple of times so far and not in Sydney yet). I am thinking the Lane Cove River (we live out near Carlingford so nice and close) but can anyone suggest a good spot that is nice and quiet and has a playground or something to keep the kid entertained? Reading this site, everyone seems to go to the Fig Tree Bridge but standing around listening to traffic noise ain't my idea of a relaxing time. I see on the map there's a playground upstream about 300 m south of Epping Road, anyone know what it's like up that way? Or otherwise any other suggestions?

Jeff Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) Try Putney Park. Very large play area with climbing ropes, sandpit, water feature and slide for the kids to play in. Has some electric BBQs as well. Has a sandstone wall that runs around a bay. Need to go there at high tide for best results. This time of year would expect to get a bream or two and a couple of flatties on SPs. Start off at the right hand side near the trees (there are no snags there) and work your way around to the left. Also throw out an unweighted line for the Grandparents/kids with lump of squashed bread on the hook. Gets lots of bream.

russell Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Thanks! Sounds like a good spot. Though I've read it's not a great idea to eat fish taken upstream of the Gladesville bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know but actually I meant in response to the suggestion of Putney (Parramatta River) ... does your comment apply to that too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
