About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

The Balmain Ferry Wharf in Balmain, NSW, is a bustling jetty that offers a unique fishing experience amid the vibrant harbour atmosphere. Anglers can often be found casting lines for a variety of species, including Yellowtail Kingfish, Dusky Flathead, and Bream. The best times to fish here are during dawn and dusk, as well as around the change of tide, when the action tends to heat up. Luderick and Silver Trevally are also common catches, with Mulloway making a surprise appearance from time to time. While the structure of the jetty provides excellent access, it's important to be cautious of the wind and tide, which can affect fishing comfort and safety.
