Sydney offers some very exciting estuary (within Sydney Harbour) and reef fishing (from Longreef to Bondi and up to 5 miles offshore). You never really know what you're going to catch. Estuary and reef fishing is available all year round and most of the species make excellent eating. You can expect to catch Snapper, Morwong, Trevally, Kingfish, Jew fish, Leatherjacket.... and the list goes on and on!

Alongside is a magnificent 'Old Man Red'; note the big hump on its head from smashing coral reefs to get to tasty prawns, lobsters and other crustaceans. No wonder they taste so good - look what the eat!

These fish are undisputedly one of our finest table fish. 

Snapper are a favourite off Sydney's headlands and offshore reefs.  They fight hard, and flash absolutely magnificent colours as they come toward the boat.  These fish are readily taken all year round, with the best times being from September through to March.

 

Another favourite reef species are Mulloway, or Jew Fish as they are commonly called.  These fish grow upwards of 100 pounds in weight, but off the reefs, the most common is between 15 and 20 pounds. 

Some fishermen can go all their lives without catching a Mulloway, but pictured alongside is yet another successful day aboard Alliehunter.  Just check out the smiles on their faces!

Mulloway also make excellent table fish.  The flesh is very white, beautifully flaked and a delight on the pallet.
