Local Fishing Reports

Typical spring weather, hot and clear one day to rain and wind the next! The good news is the fish are still on the bite. The harbour is producing a mix of kingfish and winter fish like luderick with plenty of bait going around. The beaches have been good after dark with XL bream and the not-so common tarwine being caught on beach worms. Rocks have seen some smaller bonito and kings but the rock blackfish have been consistent.

The weather is looking pretty good for the long weekend and the fish are coming on the bite. The harbour is seeing a good mix of winter and summer species, the beaches are fishing well for whiting and bream with the rocks producing classic winter fish like rock blackfish. Narrabeen lake is starting to warm quickly with good numbers of smaller sized flathead taking prawn imitation lures.

The water temp is still quite cold but there are still kingfish in the harbour but they are very fussy with fresh/live cuttlefish being the best bait. The smaller rats are starting to make their presence in the harbour along with salmon in the upper reaches. The luderick are also on the bite in the harbour too! The recent swell has churned up the beaches and with the cooler temps there have been some good rock blackfish being caught. Off the beaches the whiting are starting to come back on the bite!

The cooler water is making the kingfish a little harder to track down in the harbour, but anglers putting in the time are still finding them. The beaches are fishing well, with most of the better bites coming after dark, while the rocks continue to produce good numbers of luderick and rock blackfish (drummer).

The fishing has been awesome the past couple of weeks with bluefin and yellowfin tuna still being caught off Sydney with trolling providing the best results. The harbour is fishing well for big winter kings and the luderick have come on the bite in the upper reaches. Pittwater is full of feeding salmon. They are a little lure-shy so best to use smaller metals/jigs to get the bite. Beaches are slowed a little but the rocks are producing good numbers of rock blackfish (drummer) 

The offshore winter fishing has kicked off with big bluefin and yellowfin down the south coast and now Sydney is starting to see yellowfin being caught on the troll just south-east of Browns Mountain! 

It's cold, but the good news is the days are slowly getting longer and the fish are still on the bite! The harbour, Pittwater and the local beaches are alive with hard-fighting salmon, eagerly smashing both baits and lures. They're also fantastic fun for kids and anglers of all skill levels.

Winter has been producing the goods! The weather has been fantastic, and the fishing has been just as good. The Hawkesbury is producing big flathead and jewfish, while Pittwater has seen solid numbers of hairtail, estuary perch and, yes, even speedsters like bonito and mac tuna. Kingfish are still biting in Sydney Harbour, although they're becoming a little harder to find. Our beaches are also fishing well, with quality bream, whiting and Aussie salmon all being caught.

Weather has been pretty average with rain and wind. The swell has been up but the fish are still biting. The water is dirty in Pittwater and the Harbour but the kings are still around with trevally moving in. The beaches are churned up from the swell but there are some good gutters around so it's well worth fish as there are some XL size tailor in the deeper gutters. 

Winter is fast approaching in Sydney, but the fishing is still firing across the harbour, Pittwater, and the Hawkesbury. Cooler water temperatures haven’t slowed the action, with solid numbers of kingfish, jewfish, and large squid still being caught. While surface activity has eased in Pittwater and the Hawkesbury, consistent hairtail and jewfish bites are keeping anglers busy. Meanwhile, Sydney’s local beaches are producing exceptional whiting fishing, with fish up to 40cm being landed regularly.
