Summer Fishing (November - April)

As the warmer water hits Sydney fish species such as Kingfish, Aust Salmon, Bonito, Mahi Mahi, Marlin all start to become active as well as the all year species such as Snapper, Morwong, Perch, Flathead. etc. Fishing during summer is generally a mixture of trolling lurers, fishing with live bait and bottom bashing with pilchards on the reef and sand.

Winter Fishing (May - October)

The colder months are really good for REEF fishing... the Snapper, Morwong, Perch all become active as does the Flathead on the sand.

Fishing equipment & NSW Fishing licence are Included

All fishing equipment, bait and a NSW Fishing licence are included in the price of the charter for every passenger.. All fishing boats are equiped with Shimano reels spooled with braid.

WHAT TYPE OF FISH will we be targeting

It depends on (1) What charter you book and (2) The time of year …. Sydney fishing is VERY seasonal... During the warmer SUMMER months (Nov-April) we target Kingfish, Aust Salmon and Bonito, Snapper, Morwong, Perch, Pigfish, Flathead. etc. During the colder WINTER months (May-Oct) generally head straight to the REEF for Snapper, Morwong, Perch, Pigfish and then finish on the sand for Flathead for an hour or so… If you are after a specific target species on a PRIVATE charter, please email Management to confirm more details before you book the charter...
