Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Sydney fishing report. Light winter pattern around the Harbour today: cool, mostly clear, and a light westerly through the morning shifting nor’east in the afternoon. The Bureau of Meteorology has temps sitting in the mid-teens, with barometer steady and only a slight chop on the main harbour. Sunrise was just after 7 and sundown’s coming in around 5, so you’ve got tight windows of prime light. Tides from the Port Jackson tables show an early morning high, dropping through mid‑morning to a late arvo low, then pushing back in after dark. That easing run‑out this morning and first push of the evening flood have been the pick for most crews. Inside Sydney Harbour, tailor and salmon schools have been up and down from North Head to Bradley’s Head, pushing tiny whitebait. Birds have been the giveaway. Anglers running 10–20 g metal slugs, small white bucktail jigs, and 3-inch paddletails on 10 lb braid have done nicely. A few rat kingfish mixed in around the marker buoys and channel edges, especially near the Wedding Cake and down toward Rose Bay. According to local tackle shops around Drummoyne and Mosman, there’s been a handy run of bream and trevally around the moorings and wharf pylons. Best results have come on lightly weighted peeled prawn, pink nippers, and small pilchard cubes, plus 2.5–3 inch grub and minnow plastics in natural colours. Fish are a bit tentative in the clear winter water, so light leaders in the 6–10 lb range have outfished heavy gear. Up the Parramatta and Lane Cove arms, flathead have been holding on drop‑offs and sand patches near weed beds. A lot of fish are school‑sized, 40–55 cm, with the odd better model. Anglers have been boating solid numbers on 3–4 inch soft vibes, curly‑tail plastics, and small hardbody divers worked slow along the bottom. Pilchard strips and mullet fillet are still reliable baits if you prefer soaking a line. Off the rocks around South Head and further south toward Coogee, drummer and luderick have been on the chew on the wash. Regulars report good sessions using peeled prawn, cunje, and fresh cabbage, fished in close with just enough lead to hold. A few bonito and salmon have been taken on chrome slices and small stickbaits when the swell has backed off. For squid, Middle Head, Balmoral, and Manly side weed beds have produced a steady run of calamari. Size 2.5–3.0 jigs in natural prawn and brown/khaki patterns have been the standouts, especially on the top of the tide and first of the run‑out. If you’re looking for hot spots, two to circle on your chart today: - North Head to Quarantine Bay: surface action on salmon and tailor, with a chance of kings on live yakka or slimy mackerel. - The Drummoyne to Gladesville stretch: solid bream, trevally, and flathead along the drop‑offs, moorings, and structure, great for soft plastics and lightly weighted baits. Best all‑round lures right now: 15 g metal slugs, 3-inch natural paddletails, soft vibes around 65–80 mm, and 2.5–3.0 squid jigs. Best baits: pilchard cubes, peeled prawn, pink nippers, mullet strip, and fresh weed or cabbage for the blackfish and pigs. That’s your Sydney fishing wrap from Artificial Lure.
