In the upper reaches of this area whiting, flathead, mullet and perch are the go. Great spot for mulloway, flathead and bream, however the tidal condition are critical. Mulloway at night with live bait. Boat Shed is a very weedy ground and must be fished light for bream and flathead. The point of Barrenjoey yields everything from bream, tailor, salmon, kingfish and even the shark or two.
Lion Island is a very productive sight for all forms of pelagic fish.
Trolling is a worthwhile alternative. Watch the shallow waters here with incoming waves. However some of the best whiting fishing can be found in this region. This point creates some great eddies on tidal run out and produces great mulloway fishing. One of the best bream fishing spots for the system. .
