Are there Blackfish at Gymea Bay

[JamoDamo]

Does anyone know if Blackfish inhabit Gymea bay baths, it is a wharf so it would have to have few there right?

HI Mate,

I used to fish there for squid a couple of times week over a good few years. In that time i only saw one person target Blackfish properly there but he cleaned up, nice bag of at least 7 or 8 fish. Thing is he was a much older bloke who really knew his stuff, the sought who'll tell you "the first 40 years of fishing for them is tricky but they come easy after that". He had his burly and weed all ready to go and I reckon he knew they were there up river at that specific time as I never saw him back there again. 

Anyway, yes you can get them there so give it shot. Great spot for land based fishing.

Cheers,

Rich

At Gymea baths you can catch anything from bream/squire to Salmon & Kingfish & everthything in between.

You just got to be there at the right time.

There are MASSIVE blackfish that live at the Gunnamatta Bay baths jetty. On the northern most point you can find, right at your feet, there are three that live there, each longer than your forearm.

They're not a school and they are kind of like pets, but if you're hungry you're hungry.
