    Sydney Fishing Report: Clear Skies, Prime Tides, and Bream Through to Kings

    Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Sydney fishing report. Harbour and coast have fished pretty well around the tide changes today. Bureau of Meteorology has light to moderate westerlies with clear skies, cool morning, and a mild top in the high teens to low 20s. Sunrise was just before 7 am, sunset just after 5 pm, so your prime bite windows are that first light period and the last couple of hours before dark. Tide tables from NSW Maritime show a solid morning high and a decent afternoon push, and those turns have lined up nicely with the better sessions. Inshore water is clear and cool, which has pushed **bream, trevally and squid** up into the structure, and kept **kingfish and tailor** patrolling the edges. Local tackle shops around Drummoyne and Rozelle report consistent catches of legal bream and trevally in the lower Harbour this week, with a smattering of 60–70 cm kings for the anglers putting in the effort around the markers. Rockhoppers from Bondi through to Maroubra have seen mixed bags of tailor, salmon and the odd snapper early, especially on the rising tide. For the Harbour, think finesse. Best results have come on: - **Lures:** 2–3 inch grub and minnow soft plastics on 1/12–1/8 oz jigheads for bream and trevally, small metal slices and 4 inch jerkshads for tailor and the school kings. - **Bait:** Fresh peeled prawns, strips of squid, and pilchard cubes. Light fluorocarbon leaders are making a big difference in the clear water. Squid have been thick around kelp and ribbon weed. Size 2.5–3.0 natural‑colour jigs are the go. A few crews this week have filled the livewell with calamari at first light then turned those into quality kingfish around the deeper points and channel markers. Beach fishos on the eastern suburbs sand have been finding tailor and Australian salmon on the evening high, with the odd mulloway reported from deeper gutters. Best offerings have been whole pilchards on ganged hooks, beach worms, and 40 g metal slugs when the birds are working just behind the break. Couple of hot spots to consider: - **Spit to Middle Head:** Good mix of bream, trevally, squid and the odd king. Work the tide changes tight to structure with small plastics, then switch to live squid or yellowtail for kings around the deeper edges. - **South Head to North Head wash and nearby reefs:** Early‑morning troll or cast small stickbaits and metals for tailor, salmon and school kings, then drop soft plastics or bait for snapper on the inshore reefs once the sun is up. If you’re heading out this evening, fish that last light and the top of the tide, keep your presentations small and natural, and have a metal slug rigged and ready for any surface bust‑ups.

    Winter Bream and Flathead Fire Up Around Sydney Harbour and Botany Bay

    G’day, this is Artificial Lure with your Sydney fishing report. We’ve got a classic winter pattern settling over the coast today: cool, mostly clear conditions, light westerlies early easing to variable breezes through the middle of the day, and only a slight chop on the harbour and lower river reaches. The air’s crisp at first light, but it warms up quickly once the sun’s up. Sunrise was around twenty past seven this morning, with sunset a bit before five, so you’ve got tight bite windows around dawn and dusk. Tides are running a standard two‑tide cycle on the coast, with a morning high pushing in nice, clean ocean water and a solid run‑out through late morning into early arvo. That run‑out has been the prime time for bait and predators to fire up around the headlands, markers and channel edges. Inside the harbour and up the Parramatta and Lane Cove, the last of the run‑in and the first of the run‑out have been the pick. Water temps offshore are holding in the mid‑teens, a touch cooler in the upper estuaries. That’s kicked the **bream**, **trevally** and **luderick** into gear in the harbour and around the washes, with **flathead** and a few late **kingfish** still showing when the bait’s stacked. Recent catch reports from local tackle shops and social feeds around Sydney Harbour, Botany Bay and the adjacent beaches have been strong on: - Good numbers of pan‑sized **bream** off wharves, pylons and rocky foreshores - School **snapper** and **mowies** just offshore from the headlands on the reefs - Solid feeds of **trevally** mixed in with bream around berley trails - A few bigger **winter jewfish** coming from deeper holes in the harbour and the Georges on the tide changes Best baits right now: - For bream and trevally: peeled prawn, pilly cubes, and fresh striped tuna or slimy mackerel strips - For luderick: green weed and cabbage under a light float, especially around rock walls and washes - For flatties and jew: live mullet, live squid, or fresh squid strips on the deeper edges and holes Top lures: - 2.5–3 inch grub and paddle‑tail soft plastics in motor oil, bloodworm and natural baitfish colours for bream and flatties - 20–40 gram micro‑jigs and metal slices around bait schools for tailor and the odd king - Squid jigs in natural browns and pinks around kelp and ribbon weed beds on the last of the light A couple of hot spots to aim for: First, **North Head and the lower harbour**. Work the washes along the stones with lightly weighted peeled prawn or small plastics for bream, trevally and the odd drummer. Then slide inside to the markers and channel edges on the run‑out and drop plastics or micro‑jigs through the bait. Keep an eye out for birds picking – quick metal slices will find tailor and maybe a stray king. Second, **Kurnell and Towra Point in Botany Bay**. Drift the sand and mud edges with soft plastics for flathead, and anchor with a steady berley trail for bream and trevally. The deeper channels and bridges on the Georges are worth a live‑bait soak on the tide change if you’re hunting a jewie. If you’re fishing land‑based, the harbour wharves, public jetties and rock walls are producing well, especially when you keep your rigs light, your leader thin, and your berley constant. Squidding around the lit areas after dark has also been productive – great bait and great eating. That’s the wrap from Artificial Lure.

    Sydney Winter Sessions: Neap Tides and Glassy Mornings

    G’day, this is Artificial Lure with your Sydney fishing rundown. Light westerlies and clear skies had the harbour and inshore grounds pretty glassy through the morning, with a stiff afternoon breeze kicking up a bit of chop. The Bureau of Meteorology has temps sitting in the mid-teens at first light, nudging into the low 20s by midday, with only a slight chance of a shower along the coast. Sunrise came in just after 7 and sunset will be around 5, giving a short but fishy winter window, especially around the tide changes. Tides up and down the Sydney coast today have been modest neaps: a low early this morning, a mid‑morning push, and another easing run this afternoon. That late morning to early arvo flood has been the prime bite, particularly in the harbour and around the headlands where the current just starts to lean. Inshore, the harbour has been lively. Local reports from the Sydney game and sportfishing crews say tailor and bonito have been chopping bait on the surface around North Head, Middle Head, and Bradley’s Head on the making tide. Small metals around 15–25 g, white Slug‑Go style jerkshads on 1/4 oz jigheads, and tiny pilchard cubes have been doing the damage. A few legal kingfish are still ghosting the marker buoys and moorings; live squid and small live yellowtail remain the standout baits, with 4–5 inch soft plastics in natural baitfish colours a solid backup. Bream and trevally have been steady on the reefy edges and deeper holes from Rose Bay through to Clifton Gardens. Peeled prawn, pilchard strip, and chicken soaked in a light berley trail are producing mixed bags, with most anglers putting together half a dozen fish over a session. Light fluorocarbon leaders and small size 2–4 bait keeper hooks are making all the difference in the clear water. Land‑based, squid fishing has been excellent at night and into first light off the well‑lit wharves and rock walls. Locals are getting half a dozen good southern calamari in a couple of hours using 2.5–3.0 jigs in pink, orange, and khaki patterns. Those fresh squid are turning into prime kingy candy as soon as the sun gets up. Off the rocks around South Head, Ben Buckler and out toward Maroubra, salmon schools have been cruising just behind the break. Metal slugs, 3–4 inch paddle tails, and small stickbaits worked fast are pulling fish, with the odd tailor mixed in. Early morning has been best before the swell and wind build. Offshore, the reef systems off Long Reef, Browns, and south toward the Peak are fishing solidly for snapper and mowies on the dawn and dusk changes. Pilchard cubes, squid strips, and soft plastics in 5–7 inch jerkshad profiles have accounted for mixed bags, with most boats seeing a handful of pannies and the occasional better red when the current lines up. A few kings are still hanging on the deeper structure; vertical jigs in 80–150 g and live baits are your best shot. If you’re heading out tomorrow, a couple of hot local spots to consider: - **Middle Head to Bradley’s Head line**: troll small hardbodies and metals for bonito and tailor, then drop plastics or live baits for kings around the structure. - **Clifton Gardens and nearby reefs**: great land‑based and boat options for bream, trevally, and squid, all within easy reach and relatively sheltered. Best all‑round offerings right now are: - Lures: 15–25 g metal slugs, 3–5 inch minnow and paddle‑tail plastics in pilchard and slimey mackerel colours, and quality 2.5–3.0 squid jigs. - Baits: fresh squid, live yellowtail, peeled prawn, and pilchard strips.

    Winter Kingfish and Flatties: Sydney Harbour's Prime Bite in Low Light

    Name’s Artificial Lure here with your Sydney fishing report. We’ve got a classic winter pattern settling in around the harbour and coast. Light westerlies this afternoon, cool and mostly clear, with a top around the mid-teens and not much swell on the inshore reefs. Sunrise was just after 7 am, sunset around 4:55 pm, so it’s a short window – low light at both ends of the day has been the prime bite. Tides today were a moderate run: a morning high around mid‑morning, dropping to an early arvo low, then building back toward an evening high. That flooding tide late in the day has really fired things up in the lower harbour and around the headlands. Reports from local anglers this week say Sydney Harbour has produced solid numbers of **kingfish**, **trevally**, and **tailor**, with the odd **salmon** school pushing bait into the washes. Botany Bay has seen good **flatties** along the drop‑offs and a few **bream** on the rock walls and pylons. Up the Parramatta and Lane Cove arms, it’s been a mix of **bream**, **flathead**, and the occasional **estuary perch** tight to structure. Kingfish have been taking small live baits – yakka, slimies, and squid – slow‑trolled or dropped down around markers and reefy points. When they’re up high, 4–5 inch soft plastics in baitfish colours and metal stickbaits have been doing damage. Trevally are sitting under the burley trails; peeled prawn and small pieces of pilchard on light leaders are putting a steady stream in the esky. Flathead numbers have been decent, especially along sandy edges in 3–8 metres. Best results have come on 3–4 inch paddle‑tail soft plastics in motor oil or natural baitfish colours, and simple paternoster rigs with pilchard cubes or whitebait. Work the plastics slowly along the bottom – short hops and long pauses. Bream fishos are doing well around bridge pylons, moorings, and rocky shorelines. Light leaders, small long‑shank hooks, and baits like peeled prawn, chicken, or lightly weighted bread baits have been the go. Hardbody lures and small crankbaits worked along rock edges are also pulling some quality fish. A few tailor and salmon schools have been popping up from The Heads down to Maroubra. Keep a light spin rod rigged with a 20–40 g chrome metal or small surface stickbait; when the birds start working, get in upwind and fire long casts through the school, fast retrieve. Hot spot one: **Middle Harbour** – from The Spit up to Roseville. Work the deeper bends and moorings for bream and flathead, and keep an eye on the sounder for bait schools holding mid‑water – kings often aren’t far away. Hot spot two: **North Head and Quarantine area**. The washes along the headland and around the Quarantine marker have held tailor, salmon, and the odd better king on live baits and metals, especially on the run‑in tide with a bit of chop on the surface. Best lures right now: – 3–5 inch soft plastics in natural baitfish or motor oil colours – 20–40 g chrome metals for surface bust‑ups – Small diving hardbodies in brown or prawn patterns for bream Best baits: – Live yakka, slimies, or squid for kingfish – Pilchard, whitebait, and prawns for general harbour work – Chicken and mullet strips for bream and flathead on the bottom That’s the wrap from Artificial Lure.

    Winter Bite Window: Sydney Harbour Trevally, Bream & Flathead on the Afternoon Tide Run-In

    Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Sydney fishing rundown. Light westerlies and clear skies around the harbour today, with temps sitting in the high teens to low 20s and just a slight afternoon breeze on the points. According to the Bureau of Meteorology, swell offshore is modest from the south‑east, so the ocean rocks and headlands are very fishable if you pick a safe ledge and watch the sets. Sunrise was just after 7, sunset just before 5, giving a tight bite window around the low‑light periods. Tides from the official NSW tide tables show a handy early‑morning high, dropping to a late‑morning low, then a building afternoon run‑in. That incoming this arvo has really flicked the switch inside the harbour: classic scenario for baitfish pouring over the banks and predators pushing in tight. Reports from local tackle shops and charter skippers around Sydney Harbour and Botany Bay over the last couple of days have been solid. Anglers are finding good numbers of **winter bream**, **trevally**, and **flathead** in the bays, with the odd **legal kingfish** still hanging around the markers and deeper structure. A few **tailor** are chopping up early and late, mostly around the headlands and channel edges. Offshore, snapper fishos are picking up mixed bags of **pannies to 40 cm**, with the better reds coming at first light on the inshore reefs. Best lures have been small **2.5–3 inch soft plastics** in natural baitfish and motor‑oil colours for bream and flatties, worked slowly along drop‑offs and sand‑flats. For kings and tailor, local gun anglers are leaning on **metal slices around 20–40 g**, white **5 inch jerk shads**, and **stickbaits** when the water’s clear. If you’re old‑school, fresh **squid strips**, **pilchards**, and live **yellowtail** are still outfishing most artificials on the tougher days. If you’re land‑based, a couple of hotspots to try: - **North Harbour / Spit Bridge area**: Great tide run, plenty of bait, and consistent bream, trevally, and the odd king. Work the pylons and shadow lines on the run‑in, especially with light leaders and small plastics or peeled prawn. - **Kurnell and the mouth of Botany Bay**: The rocky points and nearby reefs have been turning up tailor, salmon, and solid flathead. Cast metals into the washes at dawn, then switch to soft plastics or strip baits as the sun climbs. Inside the harbour, places like Rushcutters, Rose Bay, and the mooring fields around Drummoyne are holding good schooling trevs and pan‑size bream. Fish light, burley gently, and don’t be afraid to drop leader diameter if the bite’s tentative. Overall fish activity is typical of the cooler months: fewer outright surface explosions, more subtle bites down deep. Slow your retrieve, shrink your lure profile, and focus on those tide changes and dusk sessions. The anglers who match the hatch and keep their presentations natural are the ones walking away with a feed right now. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

    Early Winter Sydney: Tailor, Salmon and Bream on the Chew

    Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Sydney fishing report. Light westerlies and clear skies have had the harbour and beaches looking mint most of the day, with just a bit of afternoon chop as the breeze pushed up. Temps have been sitting in the high teens, low 20s on the coast, cool starts but very comfortable on the water. Sunrise was around twenty‑past five this morning, sunset just after five, so that first and last light bite has been short but punchy. Tides today have been running a standard two‑tide cycle, with a solid morning high pushing bait right up onto the flats and into the washes, then easing into a draining afternoon low. That run‑in around the bridges and headlands has been the key window, with the run‑out this arvo better for fish holding tight to structure and drop‑offs. Fish activity’s been classic early‑winter Sydney. In the harbour and middle reaches, tailor and salmon schools have been chopping into tiny whitebait and pilchard fry, especially off Clarke Island, Bradleys Head and around the Spit. Flicking 20–40 gram chrome slices and small white metal slugs into the edge of the bust‑ups has pulled consistent fish, with a few better salmon nudging the 60 cm mark. Fast, erratic retrieves are doing the damage. On the stones and beaches, bonito and the odd kingfish have been cruising the washes on the run‑in. Pilchards on ganged hooks, live yellowtail, or squid strips have worked well, with metal lures and 5–7 inch stickbaits also picking up fish when they’re up on the surface. Kings have been a bit patchy but there are still legal models hanging around headlands and marker buoys if you put in the time with live baits. Bread‑and‑butter species are very much on the chew. Bream and trevally have been stacked up around wharves, pylons and deeper moorings. Best results have come on lightly weighted peeled prawn, chicken gut and small pilchard cubes, as well as 2–3 inch soft plastics in motor‑oil and bloodworm colours hopped slowly along the bottom. There’ve been some solid bream to 35–38 cm and trevs in the 40s for those fishing light leaders and plenty of berley. Flathead are still taking advantage of the dropping water on the sand and mud edges, especially in Botany Bay and up the Parramatta and Lane Cove rivers. Paddle‑tailed plastics in the 3–4 inch range, worked along channel edges and drop‑offs, have produced good numbers of fish, with a few in the mid‑60s turning up for anglers slowly dragging whitebait and pilchard baits. A few squid have been around the kelpy points and weed beds, particularly on the eastern side of the harbour and in the lower bay. Bright orange, pink and natural prawn‑pattern jigs in the 2.5–3.0 sizes have been the pick. Fresh squid is still the best bait in town for kings and big snapper out wider, so it’s worth putting in a session. Couple of hot spots to put on your hit list: – Middle Harbour, from the Spit up to Roseville, for bream, flathead and the odd jewie after dark. Work the edges with soft plastics and lightly weighted baits on the change of tide. – Botany Bay’s Towra Point and the Captain Cook Bridge area for flathead, bream and school jew, especially on the run‑out with soft plastics and live poddy mullet. Best all‑round lures right now: small chrome metals, 3–4 inch paddle‑tail and jerk‑shad plastics in natural baitfish tones, and 2.5–3.0 squid jigs. For bait, you can’t go past fresh squid, pilchard, peeled prawn and live yellowtail. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

    Early Winter Sydney Fishing: Tailor, Bream and Kingfish in the Harbour and Rivers

    Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Sydney fishing report. We’ve got a classic early‑winter pattern around the Harbour and coast. Light to moderate westerlies have been pushing in, keeping the mornings cold but the days pretty clear. The Bureau of Meteorology is calling it cool and dry with only a slight chance of a shower, and winds tending westerly then easing off into the evening. Sunrise was around 7:00 am, sunset about 4:55 pm, so you’ve got short bite windows – dawn, the mid‑morning tide push, and the last hour of light are prime. Tides today are fairly gentle: a morning high, dropping to a mid‑arvo low, then building again into the evening. That building run‑in around sunset is when you want to be on your mark, especially inside the Harbour and up the rivers. On these neap‑ish tides you won’t get huge current, so focus on structure and bait rather than big tide lines. In the Harbour, tailor and salmon schools have been working the usual haunts – North Head, South Head, Middle Head and along the main channel markers. Birds have been a dead giveaway on calmer mornings. Small metal slices in the 10–25 g range, white or pilchard‑pattern stickbaits, and tiny soft plastics on 1/8–1/4 oz jig heads are getting bit. If the fish are fussy, drop leader size and speed up the retrieve. Kingfish have been patchy but still about around the wedding cake markers, Clifton Gardens, and the pylons of the Harbour Bridge and Anzac Bridge. Live squid is still king on the kings – if you can jig a few around Balmoral or Chowder Bay, send them down on a running sinker rig or lightly weighted. When they’re shy, switch to 4–5 inch soft plastics in natural baitfish colours or small fluttering jigs worked mid‑water. Bream and flathead fishos are doing well up the Parramatta and Lane Cove arms, plus around Iron Cove and Hen and Chicken Bay. A few solid blue‑nose bream are coming from rock walls and pontoons on lightly weighted baits – peeled prawn, chicken thigh strip, or half‑pilchard. For plastics, 2.5–3 inch grubs and paddle‑tails in bloodworm and motor oil colours have been deadly, especially slow‑rolled along the bottom for flatties sitting on the drop‑offs. Off the stones, the lower swell and westerlies have opened a nice window for drummer, luderick, and the odd snapper close in. Cabbage and weed under a float are the go‑to for blackfish, while cunje and peeled prawn fished into the wash will find pigs. Fish the last of the run‑in and first of the run‑out, and don’t skimp on berley. A couple of hotspots to consider: - **North Head and Quarantine area**: salmon, tailor, and the chance of a king working the bait schools on first light and the evening run‑in. - **Parramatta River around Gladesville Bridge and Drummoyne**: bream and flathead on plastics and lightly weighted baits, especially around the top of the tide and first of the run‑out. Best all‑round lures right now: 10–20 g metals, 3–5 inch baitfish‑style soft plastics, and small hardbody minnows for bream in the shallows. Best baits: live squid, pilchard pieces, peeled prawn, and a bit of chicken for the bream if you’re soaking a bait. That’s your Sydney fishing wrap from Artificial Lure.

    Sydney Fishing Report: Afternoon Highs, Kingfish and Luderick - Your Guide to Today's Best Bites

    Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Sydney fishing report. Norfolk Island tide tables from the Bureau of Meteorology line up pretty closely with Sydney today: an early **high just after dawn**, a **low mid‑morning**, building back to a **solid afternoon high**, then dropping away after dark. That afternoon push of water is the pick, especially around headlands and breakwalls when the current starts to run properly. Weather-wise, the BOM has the coast under a light to moderate **nor’easterly sea breeze**, mostly clear skies and only a slight chance of a shower. It’s been **cool at first light**, then warming quickly, with a pretty comfortable afternoon. Sunrise was just before **7 am**, sunset around **4:55 pm**, so that classic first and last light window is tight but very fishy. Inshore, the **kingfish** have been patchy but still worth the effort. Local reports from charter skippers out of Rose Bay and Mosman say they found **legal kings to mid-80s** around **North Head and South Head**, plus a few rats mixed in. Live squid is still king on the kings, but 5–7 inch **soft plastics in white or pilchard colours** and **micro-jigs around 20–40 g** have picked up fish when the bait’s hard to find. Inside the harbour, there have been good numbers of **trevally and bream** on the **run‑in tide**. Anglers fishing from the **Spit Bridge pylons and Sow and Pigs Reef** have reported solid bags of pan-sized trevs and a few bruiser bream mixed with pickers. Best bait there has been **pilchard cubes, peeled prawn and chicken gut** fished on light leaders and small circle hooks, with just enough sinker to hold bottom. Berley light but steady and you’ll keep the school under the boat. The **luderick (blackfish)** scene has kicked up a gear along **Clifton Gardens, Watsons Bay wharf and the eastern suburb rock walls**. Local blackfish specialists are getting regular bags of fish to 40 cm using **green weed and cabbage** under stem floats. A bit of fine-tuning to depth—usually 1.5–2.5 metres—has made all the difference. Beach gutters along **Maroubra, Wanda and North Narrabeen** have produced **tailor and salmon**, especially on the afternoon high into dusk. Metal slugs around 25–40 g, clipped straight to the leader and cranked fast, have been the go for the pelagics, while fresh **half pilchards on ganged hooks** pick off the better fish. A few school **mulloway** have shown up after dark on **fresh squid strips and live beach worms**, mainly from the deeper, well-formed gutters. Off the rocks, safer ledges around **Bluefish Point and South Curl Curl** have turned up a mix of **bonito, salmon and the odd kingfish**. Most of the action has been on **chromed metal lures, 60–80 g**, and **stickbaits in natural baitfish patterns**. Always treat the stones with respect: check swell and wind, wear a vest, and never fish alone. If you’re land‑based and looking for quick wins this afternoon or tomorrow, a couple of hotspots: - **Clifton Gardens Wharf** – Great for kids and casual sessions. Trevally, bream and yakka schools hanging deep on the high tide with unweighted peeled prawn or small bread baits. - **North Head (boat-based)** – Work the bait schools with 20–40 g jigs and 5–7 inch plastics for kings, with a live squid down deep as your big‑fish ticket. Lure-wise, pack **5 inch jerk shads**, 1/4–1/2 oz jigheads, a selection of **metal slugs from 20–60 g**, and a couple of **sinking hardbodies** around 90–120 mm. For bait, you won’t go wrong with **fresh squid, pilchards, prawns and beach worms**. That’s your Sydney wrap from Artificial Lure.
