🐟🐟🐟 SYDNEY FISHING REPORT 🐟🐟🐟

Fishing Report 20.2.2020
Fish are on the move again.
Although the water is still not clear there have been some good results for those fishing inside the harbour.
Fishing along the rocks between Davis marina and reef beach there has been a lot of activity with good numbers of Bream being taken while using small strip baits and raw chicken on light tackle.
Around Watson’s bay Tailor are in big numbers and there are some good-sized fish among them.
Casting small and medium sized metals are working well along with Pilchards on gang hooks in picking up a few fish
Catching bait at the moment especially squid seems to be a bit tougher with the quality of the water but this should change over the next week.
Along south head there are some very large Bonito being taken on the troll in close to the rocks.
Blue fish point and north head has attracted a lot of anglers when the conditions have been good because of the amount of Kingfish that are available and a very successful way to pick these up is to cast out garfish on ganged hooks with a small squid skirt on the front.
Many of these fish are small but still a lot of fun and you never know when the big one will come along and take the bait.
Long reef has been producing some very large Snapper between fifty and sixty metres of water while using tuna fillets as bait but the word from some anglers is that large soft plastics are working better and picking up more of the bigger fish.
Narrabeen Lake seems to have survived all the Shark reports and it is time to get back into the water and catch some fish
There have not been any reports this week of Mulloway being caught but that does not mean that there was not as some anglers will not report captures of these fish.
As there is still a good flow of water coming into the lake there is a lot of activity with Whiting and Bream being taken between the ocean bridge and the caravan park on worms.
As always stay safe and enjoy the fishing.

🐟🐟🐟 SYDNEY FISHING REPORT 🐟🐟🐟

Fishing Report 6.02.2020
Our cover picture is of a beautiful black Marlin taken by Zane Levett of Sydney while fishing on a recent trip out on Ocean Hunter sports fishing being prepared for release after a hard struggle.
There have been a lot of small blacks taken anywhere between Long reef and the bait station giving anglers in small boats the chance of catching there first Marlin with most fish being taken on live slimey Mackerel.
Just lately the water temperature has dropped a few degrees but out towards the shelf the conditions are still good and holding marlin and Mahi Mahi.
When the opportunity arises it is the best time to get out and try for some of these great game fish.
Long reef has seen an influx of very large bronze Whaler sharks that have been attacking any live bait that is in the water and not swimming well and further to the south it is Hammer head sharks that are giving anglers a bit of bother.
Along the beaches the reports coming in are that Dee Why beach is the place were there have been consistent catches of Tailor in the evening and a few Mulloway have been being taken up and down the peninsula for those fishing into the night.
Narrabeen lake is still fishing well for good sized Flathead being taken while using soft plastics and vibes fishing along the w**d beds at the back of the lake with the best time being early morning and late evening.
Inside the harbour Flathead Bonito and Kingfish along with the occasional Mulloway are available in good numbers.
Small and medium metal spinners cast into the schools of Bonito and worked through the water at speed is usually the way to pick up some of these fish.
As well as live bait for the kings a lot of our junior anglers are using soft plastics and sugarpen lures to get into the Kingfish and are having a lot of luck picking up fish on light tackle.
Although this is a great way to pick up small kingfish when a larger fish comes along it usually ends up with the leader being snapped and a lure lost.
As always stay safe and enjoy the fishing.

Fishing Report 30.01.2020
Very large Bonito on the prowl as can be seen with the specimen that is on our cover picture with Cal Paterson holding a monster that he had taken while out on a recent charter with Stuart Reid from Sydney harbour fishing tours.
As well as some good Bonito there are good numbers of Kingfish Salmon and Tailor all along our headlands.
Spinning large metals or casting stick baits has been a very successful method of picking up a few Kingfish along the whale beach headland for some anglers while others are live baiting of south curl curl along the rocks and having a lot of success early in the morning with Kingfish and a few sharks being taken.
Along the beaches there have been a few reports of Mulloway being taken after the rains washed out the lagoons with Dee why, Bungan and Narrabeen beaches being mentioned.
Narrabeen lake has is fishing well for some anglers trolling small diving lures around the w**d beds and some good sized Flathead have been taken with this method.
For those that are fishing from the shore drifting worms on the incoming tide just in front of the caravan park is producing some good whiting and Bream with the early morning being more productive that the evening.
Long reef is still a favourite location to fish if you have a boat with massive schools of baitfish in the area it does not take long before you locate where the Kingfish are.
From most of the reefs at the moment there are reports of Barracouta moving around in big numbers and they are prepared to attack anything form small baits to trolled lures.
While using berley is a great way to attract fish it is also a dinner bell for these toothy critters so be prepared to loose a few rigs.
Further out to sea there have been some good catches of striped Marlin and large Mahi Mahi being taken from the shelf and beyond.
Inside the harbour all of the pelagics are in good numbers and can be easily found with the flocks of birds following and diving into the schools of baitfish.
As always stay safe and enjoy the fishing.

🐟🐟🐟 SYDNEY FISHING REPORT 🐟🐟🐟

Fishing Report 23.01.2020
Plenty of black Marlin showed up last week close in around the Sydney fad.
Apparently there were good numbers of good-sized Mahi Mahi holding on the fads earlier in the week but as the week went on Marlin moved in around the bait schools and the Mahi Mahi moved on.
There were Marlin showing on the surface giving some anglers the chance to pitch live baits at them as I had witnessed myself on the Thursday as a black Marlin broke surface and screamed of into the distance.
One thing that I should mention is that when a fish is hooked they usually run a long distance from the boat and other boats should give them a bit of space and not run along the back of their boat and cut of the catch of the day.
Trolling live slimey Mackerel was the key to getting a hook up.
Further out there was some good Mahi Mahi taken on some of the private fads along with striped Marlin along the shelf.
Along the beaches there have been plenty of Salmon and Tailor feeding on baitfish and casting pilchards on gang hooks is working well for some anglers on the south side of Curl Curl at the pool and along the beach
Most of the beaches are holding a range of fish but with the lagoons breaking out after the recent rains there should be a few Mulloway on the prowl looking for some of the bait being washed out.
Kingfish are still patrolling around the harbour in good numbers and reports from a few of our younger anglers that have been fishing in their kayaks is that they are taking good numbers of rats and the odd larger fish on slapsticx lures on light tackle.
Fishing in and around north harbour there are mixed bags of fish being taken from good Bream to Flathead and Flounder while fishing with fish baits.
Around the spit bridge there have been some very large Kingfish taken by some anglers while slow trolling live squid around the boat moorings in the evening before the sun goes down.

Breaking News: Bust Ups In Middle Harbour 🤣🤣

🐟🐟🐟 SYDNEY FISHING REPORT 🐟🐟🐟

Fishing Report 16.01.2020
Our cover picture this week is of Vic Levett owner operator of Ocean Hunter Sports fishing holding what can only be called a magnificent specimen of a Mahi Mahi that was taken of Sydney recently.
From all reports there are several of the fads holding good numbers of these amazing sports fish and for some of our game anglers black marlin have also been taken in good numbers while trolling skirts and live baits not that far offshore.
This is a great opportunity for some of our smaller boats to have a go at catching some of these excellent fighting fish.
Inside the harbour there are still big numbers of Kingfish holding around middle harbour and although there are lots of small undersized fish that are great sport on light tackle larger fish are usually swimming around and under them.
There have also been reports that the Bonito are in good numbers and casting small metals around the schools should see a few fish come to the boat.
For those anglers fishing from the land most of the rocky headlands are holding Salmon, and Kingfish that are being taken on live Yellowtail that are in good numbers at the moment or stick baits.
Beach fishing over the last week has improved a lot along the southern side of Collaroy with good number Salmon and Tailor working baitfish just beyond casting range but as the daylight starts to fade they make their way closer to shore.
Flat rock at south curl curl has also fished well for most anglers in the early morning with live bait being the key to picking up a few fish.
Whale beach headlands has also been very productive for Kingfish with anglers picking up fish on large metals and stick baits but again the ratio of keepers are about ten to one as the smaller fish are very eager to get to the baits.
Narrabeen Lake has been great for the kids that are of school at the moment with most taking their first fish.
A light rod and reel with a small sinker just above the hook and some worms, prawns or squid is all that is needed for to get a few fish.
As always stay safe and enjoy the fishing.
