Ideas for Weekend Trip - Sydney

[skankingaround]

Hi all, only found these forums today, basically I've just moved to Sydney for work from QLD, basically I was looking to get away this weekend with the missus, somewhere nice and quiet would be good can either be for a day or overnight, I'm located right in Lane Cove close to the city really but happy to travel for up to 3 hours each way, id love to get some quality fishing time in but at a place with some nice surrounds, I do not have access to a 4WD or a boat unfortunately so it would have to be a place where I could cast from land! I also have no gear so will have to purchase all of that, really after some help and recommendations if people have any I'd love to hear.

thanks

Hi Skankingaround

Welcome to this great site!

I know this isn't the answer to your question about getting away to somewhere outside Sydney to fish, but I just put up a thread to see about fishing right in the centre of Sydney, and got a pretty hopeful response...have you tried close to home for the "big bream" that are everywhere?

I'm going to give it a go...(let me know if you have). Take a look at the thread link below

Travel south maybe 2 1/2 hours aND STAY at either Culburra or Greenwell Point. Land based spots everywhere.

Plenty of places to stay that are real easy on the wallet. But i might be biased, I own a house there and have been going there for 49 years since i was born.
