Hi All,
Fairly similar request to Ger's thread, just at a different time. @Kracka gave some great thoughts on that one.
I am from the UK and want to do some shark fishing around Sydney.
Myself and a friend are flying out to Sydney for a holiday and will be meeting another friend who is travelling round the country. We will be in Sydney 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th Feb 2019 and can fish on any of these days / nights. We have our own car, but no tackle.
We have fished a lot in the UK and I have travelled to Asia chasing large freshwater species (100kg+ predators caught). Whilst we aren't fishing newbies, we are relatively new to the 'stronger tackle' sea fishing methods.
Whilst in Sydney I am very keen to fish for some larger species, particularly shark and grouper, although I know little about the latter and if they are possible to catch from the bank. I am not too bothered if we fish beaches or river inlets, that is up to the experts on here. I know a lot of shark head a fair way inland.
Looking for someone who wants to show us the ropes and can throw out 3 or 4 rods if possible to maximise chances. We understand how important local knowledge is with regard to location, berleying, fishing licences etc so would rather have a good discussion with someone on here.
Happy to throw some bucks your way / order some beers and pizza. Happy to camp out for an evening if needed too. We are flexible.
Again, happy to buy some terminal tackle or bait if needed, guidance will be needed on what to buy however!
Please let me know if you can help around the dates suggested above, I'm sure we can have a good laugh and catch some nice fish.
In summary:
Date: We are in town - 7th, 8th Feb 2019 - days or nights are fine.
Location: Sydney area. Shore or boat we are flexible. (prefer beach fishing)
Species: Shark + other larger predators if possible
Tackle: We require all tackle to be provided please
People: We are 3 people. Would like a local to show us around and help us out rather than renting gear and going alone. Of course we will pay you.
