Nippers in Bayview Park?

[Steven A]

Hi all,

Just wanted to say that i love the forum, i have learnt so much here and cant wait to do my part of contribution...when i start to improve that is!

 

i would just like to inquire if:

- its possible to pump for nippers at the flats near Bayview Dog Park (North of Rowland Reserve)

- anyone has done it lately?

- are there any restrictions to this area in regards to pumping for nippers?

i also hear seeing as its a popular park, it can get quite busy. does anybody have any issues here?

 

Thanks in advance!

If your going to fish or even take bait somewhere new then I always check the RMS boating maps for that area-

Hi Steven,

Pumping for yabbies in Pittwater is fine but check the maritime websites for restrictions so that you are aware of the rules. On a side note there are a few locations in the Sydney harbour system where you can find them but in this case you area not allowed to collect them.

Was pumping yabbies a few weeks ago in one of the bays a little further around. Was getting them but my best results were at the holes closest to the water at the dead low tide.

Just be careful - this was where my mate Anton stepped on a stingray a little while back while I was introducing him to yabby pumping for his first time. I even did a report about it on Fishraider. I don't want to see anyone go through that experience again.

Good luck,

Derek

Hi Derek, Thank you for your confirmation. ill definitely check out maritime as a precaution anyways.

Geeez! poor Anton. talk about a first impression!! im always weary when it comes to wading the flats. i havent had any trouble yet but i have had close encounters. just hope it stays that way!
