Are you ready to target delicious fish in New South Wales? Then put a Sydney Snapper fishing trip on your to-do list! Pink Snapper are known as Pinkies, Old Man Snapper, Cockney Bream, and Squire. These guys are also known for their taste and the fun fishing they provide anglers of all skill levels.
What to Expect
You can target Pinkies in shallow inshore water with a light line, or deeper offshore on the reefs. More experienced anglers can challenge themselves by using a lighter line. Although Snapper in Sydney are usually between 3–5 kilograms, you can reel in some huge ones way over 10 kilograms!
Sydney Harbour can get busy with seasonal Snapper – a local captain will let you know exactly when this fishing is best. Children will enjoy fishing trips in the harbour. There’s lots to see on land and the waters are calmer. The ish here are smaller than the ones offshore, but a 6-hour trip will reel plenty in.
For bigger Pink Snapper, head a bit further out to the offshore reefs. The best time to fish out here is early in the morning or during the evening, where you’ll be able to find Snapper in waters from 20 meters up to depths of 250 meters. The further from shore the Snapper are, the bigger and older they generally are. Choose a boat with GPS or sonar for an extra advantage when targeting Snapper. An 8-hour trip is best when bottom fishing further out.
How to Prepare
If you’re fishing with a chartered captain, your licence is included with the boat. Otherwise, everyone over 18 will need to buy a fishing license. Fishing rods, reels, and bait are all provided by the captain.
To entice Snapper, a burley trail works well. Good baits to try include mackerel, squid, and pilchard. If bringing your own rod, a 5–8 kg spinning rod is a good all-rounder to use.
