Fishing Report - Friday 13 November
The fishing is heating up as kingfish begin moving into Sydney Harbour and Pittwater, with good numbers being caught on both bait and lures. Bait schools are building along the inshore coastline, attracting predators including jewfish and flathead. Meanwhile, Sydney's beaches are producing a great mix of Australian salmon and jewfish, particularly for anglers fishing after dark.

A few kingfish have finally arrived inshore including the odd larger fish. Schools are small and fleeting but quite aggressive. A few salmon are cruising broken bay along with enormous schools of cowanyoung and slimy mackerel. Bait is still thin inshore but when you find it there are some nice flathead and Jewfish in hot pursuit!

November is the start of the bream run off the rocks. Snapper in the mix and by catch like groper always on the cards when using prawn baits. Bluefish, North Whale the deep front ledges being the best spots. On the beach a mix of Aussie salmon and school jewfish. High tides are late so you have to be keen. Live yellowtail and butterfly baits.

Narrabeen Lake
Fishing Station
Water in the lake has been very dirty due to the storms last week but has since cleared. Bigger bream are starting to come on the bite taking both lures and bait. Flathead are still being caught but can be lure shy. Try smaller vibes or hardbodies to temp the fish with something different.
