I've been doing a bit of fishing at night around Pyrmont. Just about 2 hours combined so far. Got a few bream on French fries and a tailor on chicken. I can't help thinking prawns might work better? Should have some time to explore Sunday and Monday.

Thanks man! Maybe I'll pick up some size 1 as well. Last time I fished Darlng Harbour I was using raw chicken. Seems like the bream are not very discriminating, so maybe I'll try some other random stuff too. Is Compleat Angler the only shop within walking distance of Market Street area? I googled a bit and didn't really find anything else nearby. Not a bad shop, just looking for some variety.

Thanks again everyone! What size of hooks are recommended for the Darling Harbour bream. I've got 1/0 and 2/0. Pretty sure 2/0 is too big, but not sure if 1/0 is also a bit big or not.

So which spot has the cheapest chips in Darling Harbour? A few years ago when I was fishing there, sometimes security would roust me, but it was no big deal really. I would just politely move on and that was the end of it.

Oh I like the look of this spot! Will hit it if I have time. Thanks!

Oh ok... Do chips stay on the hook well?

I think I've fished here too (near the wharf apartments)! Is it near where some private yachts are docked? Looks to be labeled Pyrmont Bay on the map. Thanks - you guys are super friendly!

Thanks JamoDamo. Actually I did exactly that a few years ago when I was there. I caught plenty of bream, but none that were so big. I can't remember what bait I was using - might have been cut squid. I just googled, but was not successful - what is Hots chips? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm coming to Sydney soon for some work and I'll probably have a little time for some land-based fishing. Can anyone suggest any fairly convenient and safe, yet productive spots to do some shore-casting, shore-jigging, or even baiting? Since I'm traveling I will only have a couple 4-piece rods in the 6+ foot range. I can fish jigs, hard lures, soft plastics, bait, whatever. Some advise would be greatly appreciated. My hotel is close to Darling harbour, but I don't mind traveling up to an hour from there on public transport. Thanks guys!
