Matt76 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) G'day Fishraiders, Just wanted to take this opportunity to say hello to all and report on some sydney land fishing. Thanks to this wonderful site and ample time on my hands after finishing uni, I have recently gotten back into fishing which I havnt done in years!! I thought I'd try out Greenwich baths as its about the only place close by I remember. Using frozen pillies from the local servo, I got a decent bite within the 1st 10 minutes and ended up pulling up one of the biggest breams I've ever caught (around 30cm)!! Caught a few more breams just under legal size but all in all, I was happy to have caught anything at all as I had low expectations based on my previous fishing adverntures which were far from exciting. I let them all go as I felt that they would serve more pleasure at the end of a rod than on a dinner table Anyways, I plan on spending much more time trying different spots and hopefully catching some nice ones. I'll be mostly land based fishing around sydney so if anyone has any tips or would like to join and offer some advice, it would be fantastic. Have a great weekend fellas!

Davy Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Good on you, grenwich does often provide the odd big bream or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt76 Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hehe, yeah I definitely won't be eating any of these harbour breams.. I reckon thats why there are some fish about, with no commercial fishing and the public spooked about the toxic in the fish, the harbour aint being fished out lately. Anyone have any tips on fishing at night around the rocks or a beach? Is a glow stick required and how do I use them? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lbgking Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 If your using a bobby or torpedo float, tape them on with electrical tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt76 Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 If your using a bobby or torpedo float, tape them on with electrical tape. Oh i see, what about around the bait area, do you need to stick another glow stick near the hook? Sorry for sounding so noobish but I'm under the impression that these things serve 2 purposes, so you can see the float and also for the fish to be able to see the bait at night.

robthefisherman Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Matt Great to hear you practicing catch and release, to be honest though I'm not overly worried about the dioxins in the fish, they haven't changed only the system we measure it with has I'm safe anyway I never catch anything Enjoy your time here mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinrubelj Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 thats right Rob , the dioxins have been in the system for who knows how long.Anyway its coming from Homebush way so I'd say that fish from middle harbour way are ok to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
