Bream Fishing Tips

 

Bream Fishing Spots in NSW

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 favorites 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.
