Beach and Rock

There have been plenty of salmon being taken off the beaches. Most beaches are holding good schools of fairly large and hungry fish. Salmon are a great fighting fish and some people rate them very highly as an eating quality and others not. Try Curl Curl, Dee Why, Long Reef and Narrabeen and look for the deeper gutters. Best baits are pilchards and strip baits of mullet or other oily fish.

We have had plenty of reports of jewfish captures off the beaches in recent weeks. Plenty of smaller fish have been caught with the odd bigger fish in the mix. If you want to get amongst the jewfish put in plenty of time around the tide changes and after dark. The number one bait is fresh green-eyed squid.

Sharks have been an unwelcome by-catch.

Narrabeen Lake

The Ocean St bridge area has produced some good flathead and flounder. Flathead are also around the Pittwater Road bridges along with some bream. Fish are being taken on both baits and soft plastics.

We have the had a few reports of some decent whiting in the lake as well.

Best baits for the lake are pilchards and Hawkesbury prawns.

The Jameison Park area has also produced some good catches of bream on Hawkesbury prawns.

Offshore

The offshore fishing has been great recently with some large snapper showing up on the inshore reefs. Try Long Reef, Newport Reef, Avalon the wall, Newport Reef in close and White Rock.  Fresh green-eyed squid is by far the best bait.

Teraglin are also in good number on the inshore reefs.

Plenty of Flathead are on the drift in the 40-60m marks off Mona Vale, Narrabeen and Dee Why. Pilchards and strip baits will get you a nice feed.

Pittwater

Trevally are in great numbers throughout Pittwater with good reports from The Basin, Elvina Bay, Lovetts Bay, Stokes Point and Scotland Island (western side). You will need to get a good burley going to attract them but once you’ve got them interested use peeled prawns on a light outfit and enjoy the fun. Fish up to 50cm were caught during the past week.

There are some solid kingfish around the wreck at Avalon and the back of Scotland Island. Fresh green-eyed squid is the best bait as they are very fussy on what they will take.
