Bream Fishing Spots in NSW
Australia
by Bob Ives
The
southeaster part of Australia is notorious for great fishing; all
kinds of great fishing. And NSW (New South Whales) is no exception.
It's located just north of Victoria and boasts great angling for
Salmon, tailor, whiting and flathead. But that's not all. One of the
favourites is Australian bream.
There certainly no shortage of places to fish in NSW if you're
fishing for bream. A good place to start would be Ulladulla area,
which is a very long stretch of rocky beach and includes Bannister
Head, Burrill Lake and Tabourie Lake. The bream fishing is great all
along that coastline.
Sydney, Australia, the capital of New South Whales, offers great
bream fishing in the Sydney Harbour, claiming to have some big ones
around the rocky washes and deep water structure, particularly those
in the more open parts such as Old Mans Hat, Middle Head and Sow and
Pigs reef. Other areas around Sydney boasting some nice bream
catches include Pittwater, Botany Bay,
If you are a tourist, you might find delight in visiting the
Sapphire Coast to do a little bream fishing. The Sapphire Coast,
actually called the Bega Valley Shire, is runs the south-eastern
coastline of NSW from Bermagui south to Victoria. Sport fishing is a
big part of the tourist attraction there and beach fishing for bream
is very popular around the northern end of Tathra beach, as well as
Bournda Beach to the south and Middle Beach to the north. Rock
fishing is also popular in this area on the Bega River. Also along
the Sapphire Coast is Merimbula and Pambula where the local reefs
hold deep sea bream for those who love fishing along the bottom.
In northern New South Whales you will find Ballina, a coastal
township which has a number of good fishing spots along the Richmond
River. Among other species, bream are found around the breakwalls,
rocks and shores around the town. Shaws Bay is a good spot, but
further upstream at Burns Point you'll find some of the best bream
fishing anywhere. Also check out Sharps Beach, Flat Rock headland
and Black Head. Head further south to South Ballina Beach for some
good beach fishing.
Port Stephens is another good place to go for Australian bream
fishing. It is a large harbour Northeast of Sydney which is shallow
and sandy, but holds a lot of different species of fish. Good spots
in this area would be the entrance to the Myall River and the sand
flats in the main channel. Good sized bream are caught here, as well
as off the deep water jetty at Hawks Nest. Tomaree Head and Stockton
Beach are also worthy of the attention of your fishing rod.
These certainly aren't the only great bream fishing locations in
NSW, but they will sure keep you busy for awhile. Don't forget,
Australian bream are as much fun to eat as they are to catch.
