WE’D been dragging lures across a seemingly lifeless ocean for about five hours. There was not much chatter on the boat radio, and on a calm day on a smooth sea we drifted into an air of somnolence as the lures bubbled through a glass sea. Sometimes when it is like this, you start to see things that aren’t there. A fin, a shadow, a dark shape in a wave. For a second I thought I was imagining I saw a deep shadow behind the closest lure. Then a fin, a bill and a huge hit made the reel scream.

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.

SPRING has sprung and inshore snapper are on the run. Pearl perch and other winter species that come closer to shore in the colder weather, as well as the large mulloway that patrol the mullet highways are done for the year. Gone too, are the layers of “sparrow-fart” jumpers, beanies and spray jackets required to keep feeling in the extremities as pre-dawn temperatures batter the body travelling down-river towards the bar.
