Best Fish To Catch In Sydney In November
What fish to target in November?
Summer is arriving and the variety of fish on offer in and around Sydney is changing. Anglers can cast their lines and expect to catch Salmon, Tailor, Pigfish, Perch, Hapuka, Bull Shark and Bass. These fish habitats range from waters close to shore, offshore and estuaries. They are all good to excellent eating. Even though summer is arriving the water temperatures are slowly rising from winter. It is wise to carry warm clothing as the wind whipping off the ocean can be cold.
