I fish the lagoon a lot but I don't even go near it this time of year your just wasting your time just to many people fishing and its hard enough just to get your boat in. I'll get back there in middle of feb once its had time to settle down after all the pillaging. Its better out in Pittwater and the harbour at moment anyways.

I was out sunday arvo, I agree the wind was horrible made it so hard. I saw one big school of fish working for a while near the heads but a big yacht decided to sail straight through them and they never came back . I ended up finding a sheltered little cove and caught a 3 squid and a few legal bream on vibes for dinner. I was sounding up a heap of kings but they wouldn't bite anything.

If your after kings hit the harbour and take the time to catch fresh squid, me and my mates got 18 kingies today plus a nice Samson fish.

hey mate i was up there last weekend fished saturday arvo and sunday morning for a total of 6 flathead and some tailor the biggest going 48cm but did lose a couple which i think would of been bigger. All fish were caught on small lures wriggler type as probally look like prawn, Also all fish were caught well away from the dredging. Still the action was very slow it was one of the worst trips i`ve had up there. So i would think the dredging is definately having a impact and i won't be back till its finished especially as down my way its fishing so much better. got a nice 64cm flattie today in pittwater.

yeah anywhere along there mate and even along the rocks further up you just need to explore. where the sand is there`s a good hole further out but you need to wade out there and in the winter its a little cold. thats why i have a kayak to get out to it. hope that helps a you catch a few

yeah there is a few walkways down to waters edge

hey mate, I fished the lake since i was a kid and one thing i've learn't is you don't bother fishing there in june, july and most of august you might get the odd good fish but its a hard slog. I always wait for the first few warmer days in late august to september to get back into the flatties there. If your landbased you better of to go try down around forty baskets, north harbour area where you should get some nice trevally, winter flatties was down there on saturday and got a few trevs on softies and a 50cm flattie. If you are gunna fish lake i would try the shallows on a nice sunny winters day as they should be up there trying to warm up thats my guess anyways.

yeah i fished the lake on sunday and didn't get much either, the tide was rubbish a run in you don't get much in the lake when its like that and also every man and his dog was fishing or water skiing was just way to much activity, through the week is always better than weekends. tides should be better later in the week.

Mate you made my day i never thought that much could happen in one day. Atleast you got home ok.

Hi there Yes i was land based and i only use soft plastics these days in the lake mainly so i don't catch those little pesky bream which there are thousands of them. You do have to put alot more effort in working the lure but i feel the rewards do come eventually and i had been getting a fair few big flatties in the lake on them, but it has got fairly quiet of late sept to november is best before school holidays, then late feb to may. If you do have time tho freshly caught poddy mullet are the gun bait in the lake. Ive seen some bigger ones caught on them but i never have time to collect them. hope that helps.

Thanks mate, was using squidgey blood worm wriggler 100mm

Hey raiders Went down narrabeen lagoon today and got this nice 77cm flattie on soft plastic which was released to fight another day. I'm happy as its my biggest to date on soft plastic and my new years resolution is to always up my Pb flattie so done that day one of 2012. Now to get that metre lol. The lake was actually very quiet only got the 77cm and a 36cm. to many people out on the water do stupid things in boats.

I'm pretty sure port jacksons are protected anyways but was a costly catch and release lol

Mate Thet are there i got a 10kg jewie there a few weeks back just have to put the time and effort in and go on the right tides.

yeah cheers guys was a awesome catch and day
