Fishing Report 10 May 2024

Fishing Classes are Coming

 

There is a saying that 95% of fish are caught by 5% of anglers and its fairly true.

To help you become a better angler, our expert fishing team are planning a series of fishing classes throughout June. This is a great opportunity to improve your skills, knowledge, and catch rates with tuition from our expert team.

We will have sessions on fishing the lake and the beach as well as classes on fishing with soft plastics and lures.

Learn how to target specific fish like bream, whiting and flathead.

More details will be published next week.

Beaches

Some quality whiting have being taken off the beaches – try Collaroy, South Narrabeen, and North Narrabeen. Beach worms are the best bait. Also reports of some good bream off the beaches at Dee Why and South Narrabeen taken on both prawns and beach worms.

Rocks

No reports this week.

Narrabeen Lake

The lake is still fishing well with flathead and flounder featuring at Wimbledon Ave, the Woolworths carpark area, and along Wakehurst Parkway. Soft plastics, hardbody lures and fresh Hawkesbury prawns have all been working.

Some nice sized bream have been caught in the Jamieson Park area and also around the Ocean St bridge area. There are still some quality jewfish being taken in the lake on fresh squid and large soft plastics.

We have recently restocked a lot of the popular soft plastics and lures that we know are working in the lake so pop into the shop and we’ll help you select the best ones.

Offshore

Nice sized snappers have been caught on most of the close reefs including Boltons, The Valiant, and White Rock at Long Reef. Squid and tuna fillets are the best baits.

For a feed of flathead, the drifts at Mona Vale and Palm Beach in the 40-50m depths are producing some good fish. WA Pilchard baits are producing the results. Soft plastics and vibes are also worth a try on the flathead grounds.

Pittwater

There have been a few kings of reasonable size caught at the barges at the back of Scotland Island using fresh squid.

Flathead and trevally around the moorings at Bayview and Careel Bay.
