Local Fishing Report - Friday 6 March
The warm water off Sydney has turned on the sports fish with plenty of blue marlin being caught as well as tropical visitors like shortbill spearfish and wahoo. Still plenty of pelagics being caught inshore and our beaches are producing some big fish with mulloway, sharks and XL tailor in the mix.

Warm water off Sydney has resulted in some good catches of blue marlin with a few tropical visitors in the mix like big wahoo and shortbill spearfish as by catch. These fish have been taking a range of skirted lures so it's best to have run a few varieties in your spread.

The big green eye squid have started to show up in the lower reaches along with some good kings. The freshwater flush has shut down the bonito surface bite in middle harbour but they are there still there if you troll some small deep divers down under the fresh layer

Roaring current out wide making it very difficult to catch mahi mahi . The photo is one of the DPI fads hanging on for dear life . Still lots of rats in close taking yakkas.

Image and report - Sydney Fly Fishing ToursRecent rains have tempered some of the upper harbour fishing but huge swathes of bait abound. We have been amongst rabid schools of kingfish and insane bait ball action all week. Bonito are in plagues, solid back tuna to 4kg are taking lure and fly as well as salmon, kings, tailor and large frigate mackerel. Overall the fishing in the harbour and Pittwater has been amazing
