What our customers say

Craig McGill’s ‘Fishabout Sydney Harbour’ provided the perfect solution during my time in Sydney. His professional guided fishing trips on Sydney’s very own Harbour provided a range of seriously good angling experiences at the right value and in the right amount of time for a busy professional. If you want to get out on Sydney harbour and target everything from jewfish to Kingfish, Craig McGill is your man. - Matthew Hayden Australian First Class Cricketer

Fishabout!! Not just fishing, every time he’s given me a new memorable experience. Only thing now – I can’t get enough of fishing, it’s very addictive. Craig is King of Sydney Harbour !! - Tetsuya Wakuda World Renowned Chef

I have been using Craig McGill now going on 20 years. From corporate fishing days with important clients, to trips with my kids and family, Craig is THE consummate professional and absolute expert when it comes to a fantastic and fruitful day out on the water. Where other charters can’t produce the goods, Craig certainly delivers. His tact, patience and local knowledge is undeniably second to none. For surefire success on Sydney Harbour, I could only recommend Fishabout Sydney Harbour. - Darren Brooks

Craig McGill and his gun crew know a thing or two about where and how to find the fish. They know all about the seasons — what’s on the chew and when — at secret spots using gun techniques honed after decades of fishing on this productive and picturesque waterway. But, above all, Craig and his crew offer top company and a great day out on famous Sydney Harbour. You can’t beat that experience… nor will you forget yours with this local fishing legend. - David Lockwood Fishing and Boating writer, 30-plus years.

The thrill on my boy’s face catching their first fish, will be a memory that won’t be forgotten (little did we know there were more to be caught). Craig actively sourced where the shoals were, and soon we had caught three different species of fish. Craig really put the extra effort in, to make it a fun and interactive experience for us all. - Philippa, Alex and Frazer

Craig has hosted my family, friends and clients for 10 years. His professional, safe and courteous service ensures a good time always. Photographs of smiling kids on Craig's boat adorn our walls at home and business friends from all over boast snaps of themselves on Sydney Harbour. The best part is that they are all proudly holding fish! - Glenn

Guided Fishing on Sydney Harbour with Craig McGill is fishing with the best. Craig has been guiding on Sydney Harbour for over 25 years and his experience, attitude and willingness to put his clients onto fish is second to none. Whenever I fish the Harbour my first port of call is a conversation with Craig to find out what's biting and where. For a great Sydney Harbour Fishing experience give Craig McGill a call. - Andrew ET Ettingshausen First grade NRL footballer

No one else combines Craig McGills knowledge of Sydney's waterways with such a high level professionalism in the field of guided fishing – he is in a class of his own. - Steve Starling Fishing writer and TV presenter

About Foreshore Fishing Charters

Foreshore fishing charters.

My name is Myer and I am the captain of Foreshore Fishing Charters. My fishing adventures began at the age of 3 when I was already fishing in Sydney, around Balmoral Wharf and The Spit and I have never looked back since.

I spent the next 61 years fishing Sydney’s waterways, Pittwater and Sydney Harbour chasing and catching some awesome live bait. Foreshore Fishing Tours Sydney was started 10 years ago due to my genuine love of fishing and my desire to share this with others (as well as spending more time fishing!).

During my long time on the water I’ve acquired extensive knowledge of the best fishing spots in Sydney, knowledge of fish species and the best times and seasons to catch them.Fishing charters are aboard a 6 metre Bermuda Centre Console. Safety is our top priority and our boat is surveyed and fully equipped with all safety gear.I look forward to showing you a great time fishing on Sydney Harbour.

Game Deep Sea Fishing Charters Sydney

Whether you’re looking to enjoy local Sydney harbour fishing, or game sea fishing; you can experience it all with Blue Reef Fishing Charters.

Of course, fishing wasn’t always practiced for fun. In fact, it’s an ancient survival activity that dates back somewhere in the region of 40,000 years. You can imagine how the earliest fishermen might have reacted if they were told that today, people would be getting together and fishing for fun. That said, even when fishing for survival, we can imagine that it offered a similar therapeutic feeling that it does today.

At Blue Reef Fishing Charters, we understand that there are many types of fisherman who enjoy a wide variety of fishing techniques. Some people prefer spearing and angling, others netting and trapping; then there’re those who favour a calm and relaxing day fishing beside a lake, catching and returning the occasional fish for sport, or scouring the seas for monster fish to take home for later consumption. Thus, we offer a variety of fishing charters to cater to everyone’s taste.

From Fishing Charters Sydney Harbour To Deep Sea Fishing

Deep sea reef fishing in Sydney offers fishermen a way to experience their favourite hobby in a truly unique way. We will set sail and take you out for a stunning day trip on the wide-open ocean, fishing in depths of up to 150m. What’s most exciting about this activity—for those who’ve never experienced deep-sea fishing—is the fact that you never know what you’re going to find! Groper, Cod, Snapper, Perch, Morwong, Pig Fish, Nannygai and Pearl Perch just to name a few and many more delicious and unusual fish can be hooked and cooked.

We have built up a solid reputation over the years as being a friendly, knowledgeable and experienced deep-sea fishing charter in Sydney—so, if its reliability that you’re looking for, then Blue Reef Fishing Charters is the crew for you. Our crew will provide all of the required gear, all that you need to bring is sunblock, and plenty of food and drink to remain hydrated (landing monster fish is thirsty work).

When to Book Your Fishing Charter

In March, the number of visitors visiting Sydney falls slightly, making it a great time to tour Sydney. Also, the water temperatures start to drop, but there are chances that you will find Salmon, Mahi, Marlin, and Bonito in Sydney Harbour. Hire a fishing boat and head to the waters to fish your favourite fish. 

In April, you have most fishing activities coming to halt as the temperatures drop. That being said, you can still catch Mac Tuna and Bonito in the Harbour. There is also a possibility to catch Blue Marlin and Mahi during this month. With May setting in, local fish species begin to feed up as they prepare for winter. The season is changing with fishing being unpredictable. However, you can find Flathead fish, Kingfish, and Mulloway. Heading offshore, you can deep drop for Blue Eye Cod and Hapuka fish. 

When June arrives, many anglers will pull in their boats as they prepare to take a break. At Sydney Harbour Escapes, we can give you a fishing expedition treat during this time. It is a great time for you to catch Snapper and some other type of fish over the inshore reefs. In July, it might be cold, however, that should not stop you from going out to fish. Hire our fishing boat and head offshore to catch tasty Squid, Bream, and Trevally in the Harbour. You may find Kingfish, Teraglin, and Snapper over the inshore reefs whilst Yellowfin, Bluefin, and Albacore Tuna can be found offshore.  

The best month of the year to fish offshore within Sydney waters in August. Hiring a fishing charter in this period, there are good chances that you will catch Yellowfin, Bluefin, and Tuna. 

Clovelly Beach and Gordons Bay are good fishing spots. During low tide, it’s when you have the rock-clinging critters being most visible. So, pick up your bucket and put down the rod. Of course, there are rules and laws to adhere to when fishing. Make sure you are wearing a lifejacket when fishing on the rocks. You will find that certain things are banned including fishing Blue Groper, spear-fishing, and harvesting of protected species like cockles and urchins. 

Another ideal spot for fishing is Beulah Street Wharf at Sydney Harbour. Here you find fishing waiting in the pools and coves in the harbour. These fishes are swept into Sydney waters by ocean currents that swirl from the Pacific. The tidal flows tend to set up dozens of fishing spots along the Kirribilli’s rock walls allowing anglers to have good fishing experience. 

Sydney Harbour is regarded as the most popular fishing sport in the city, so you may want to try your luck at various spots and at different times to discover your happiest hunting ground. Beulah Street Wharf is one of the good spots for fishing in the harbour. The Beulah Street wharf at the southern edge of Kirribilli is a nice spot where you can catch Bream, Squid, and Trevally. You can also catch Snapper, Flatheads, Jewfish, and Flounder on the rocks or on the beach. We will guide you on the fishing rules so that you follow them because taking an undersized fish can quickly draw the attention of Sydney City Council rangers. 

You can also engage in deep-sea fishing where you head far offshore to a greater reward. From Tuna to Marlin to Wahoo, you will get them out there. Experiencing game fishing expeditions at their finest gives you some great moments. A fishing boat for deep sea fishing in Sydney gives you a different experience from fishing around the harbour. You will meet the beasts, so you have to be prepared as their bite can leave nobody indifferent. If you are looking forward to exploring the blue sea depths, get a Sydney Harbour Escapes fishing power boat and head further out. You will come across Marlin, Tuna, and Mahi Mahi. From November to May, you will be able to catch Blue, Black, and Striped Marlin – this is the time when the East Australian Current heads to the coastline. As the waters begin to cool down, you can catch Yellowfin, Bluefish, Tuna, Bonito, Albacore, as well as a variety of Sharks. You can go trolling or do live bait and jig. At times, poppers are able to catch Marlin all excited. 

Do you plan to have a fishing expedition in Sydney? At Sydney Harbour Escapes, we have fishing boats to take to different fishing spots. Our fishing guides are experienced in the area and understand the best spots you can visit for fishing. We will take you to different fishing grounds where you will engage in fishing to catch your favourite fish.  

You can even host a fishing contest or competition with your friends to showcase your fishing skills. You also have a chance to learn how to do fishing so that the next time you are there on your own, you have mastered the skill.  Our fishing expeditions are designed to ensure safety and reap the most of your experience.  Whether it’s a large group seeking recreational fishing activity or a smaller group doing sports fishing, at Sydney Harbour Escapes, we cater to your needs by providing you with suitable fishing boats in Sydney.

What are the fishing options?

1. Harbour Fishing Fishing in sheltered waters is not what it used to be in Sydney. Since commercial fishing in Sydney has been strictly regulated and the pollution laws have become stricter and better enforced, Sydney Harbour is regenerating quickly in both fauna and flora. As a result, it is bringing in an abundance of both small and large fish in numbers that haven't been seen in Sydney since the 1950s. The expected catch will differ according to the seasons, day time and weather. On our fishing charters, you are with experts who can guide you to the best spots at the best times. Possible catch: Flathead, Bream, Whiting, Black fish, Bonito, Jew fish, Mackerel, King fish, Trevally, Salmon, Silver Drummer, Tuna, Luderik, Leather jacket, yellowtail and more 2. Reef Fishing There are many offshore reefs and wrecks around the Sydney region. These play host to a large range of fish that congregate in their sheltered waters. Most are about 20 minutes boat ride from Sydney Heads. You can catch King fish, large Dolphin Fish in summer and Snapper in winter, Morwong, Tuna and lots more! 3. Sports Fishing Sport fishing is called 'sports' because it is meant to be action packed and muscle building! It's great fun to play the line to reel in fish averaging around one metre long fighting against you. Experience action packed fishing in Sydney for such species as for Mahi Mahi (Dolphin fish) , King fish. 4. Game Chair Fishing Game chair fishing takes sports fishing to a new level where you're strapped to the game chair so it assists your reeling ability to really go after the BIG ones! In summer, Marlin, Giant Mahi Mahi, Wahoo and Tuna are popular catches and in the winter Yellowfin Tuna and Mako sharks.

Luxury Fishing Charters

Our fleet boasts the finest luxury fishing boats in Sydney for charter. Why pay for a whole boat set up and only use it a few times a year? It makes more sense to just hire a boat complete with all the latest technology, professional fishing gear and then leave all the boat maintenance and clean up happily in your wake.

Corporate Fishing Trips

A popular option for a team building adventure is a group offshore fishing tour or inshore fishing competitions. For more information see Corporate Fishing Competitions on Sydney Harbour.

Inshore Fishing

Since commercial fishing has been restricted inshore, the mighty recreational angler has claimed a few more titles thanks to increased numbers of fish in Sydney Harbour. Sydney Harbour is popular for sheltered waters throughout the year.

The fish have their seasons and we can advise what is running at the moment for you. Our favourite time of year is when the tailor comes in droves batting the water with fervour. You have the option to rent a private fishing charter boat with a skipper or hire a self-drive boat. A skippered boat will leave you for more time to fish and will allow you to explore to a larger area of the harbour. The self-drive fishing boat is cheaper and lots of fun.

Do I need a fishing licence?

Tours include a recreational fishing licence for the duration of the charter, so you do not need to worry about applying for the mandatory licence from Roads and Maritime Services.

The Sydney Harbour Escapes team are proud to host the best fishing charter boats Sydney has to offer. If you see a private fishing charter boat or fishing trip package you like, please contact us and we will check the charter boat date availability for you and book in your fishing cruise.

Lenin’s Rolls Royce Silver Ghost

Vladimir lenin, the leader of the russian revolution loved big, fancy, expensive, foreign cars, vladimir lenin, the leader of the bolsheviks and champion of the working class did harbour some upper class traits which are not common knowledge, and one of those was a liking for big expensive cars – and houses. , there are many stories about the number that he possessed during his short time as leader, but it appears that he did own a number of american buicks, as well as at least three rolls royces so how did he come to acquire them, the first vehicles came into the hands of bolsheviks after confiscating the property of the romanov family. along came 40 vehicles, including luxury cars, some of which  were appropriated by lenin for his own personal use., he then began to  enjoy the good life just like the tsars as illustrated by this photo taken at the may day red army parade in moscow 1918, in late 1918 lenin was shot twice in an assassination attempt, and in the next few years he developed a number of serious health issues which meant that he spent less and less time in moscow at the heart of the new communist government. from 1920 he spent much of his time at his gorki mansion just outside moscow – another acquisition from the russian nobility, lenin’s unique roll’s-royce silver ghost was actually purchased on 11 july 1922 from london. it cost  £1,850, acquired for a 15 % discount as a side deal of a secret bomber planes engines deal that the young russian government had with rolls-royce. that fact alone is amazing revolutions come and go, but business continues as normal., once the car was purchased, lenin then set  about having it modified for use in the harsh russian winters, and he turned to adolphe kegresse, tsar nicholas ii’s personal driver. kegresse was a brilliant french military engineer and inventor of the half-track and dual clutch transmissions., russian workers manufactured the newly designed caterpillar tracks and skis and attached them to the car, which lenin used to travel to and from the moscow kremlin from his gorki mansion. and kegresse became lenin’s driver. truth is stranger than fiction, today lenin’s rolls royce silver ghost is housed at the gorki mansion which is a museum of lenin’s many interesting possessions. it can be visited on a tour entitled russian highlights which is offered by the russian travel centre, sydney. or if you book your moscow stopover with them, they can arrange a personal tour from moscow to gorki with your own driver and guide – and it won’t cost a fortune. contact [email protected]. , want to keep up to date with all the information and blogs that i have posted each month want to make sure you don’t miss out on any important travel information want to hear/see me unravel travel for you, then sign up for my free monthly newsletter. no waffle, no hard sell – just short and sweet and to the point  look to the bottom of the page for the sign-up form. sign up now and your details are totally confidential., leave a reply, leave a reply cancel reply.
