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 (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. Winter months are also a GREAT timer for Tuna and Blue Eye Cod.
