Sydney is not only known for its stunning beaches, iconic landmarks, and vibrant culture, it’s also a haven for anglers of all skill levels and from all walks of life. I grew up fishing the Harbour and Botany Bay and have an affinity for these two urban waterways with many fond memories spent sharing time on the water with my dad. Back then we didn’t have a car, so our fishing adventures revolved around public transport, the odd cab trip and walking to get away from the crowds. As the years progressed my love of fishing Sydney still prevails and I’m still in awe of the fishing we have on our doorstop and am still exploring these vast waterways and unlocking new locations decades after I first cast a line locally. In this article, we will focus on the common terrains found in both waterways along with baits and lures that work best, the optimal tide stages for each terrain, and the tackle selection required for a successful angling adventure. These tips will hopefully help you unlock the secrets to success on Sydney’s iconic waterways.
