hey fellas,

Im thinking of hitting this joint landbased next time i get a day off, was wondering if anyone has fished there landbased recently i just wanted to know wether you can park on the bit on the left at the mouth (looks like some sorta walk way place or something or do i have to use a side road, and can i fish the mouth from that place? is safe to throw a net there too?

any help would be great cheers [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/norman_creek_AFO.jpg

now as your driving along u find a bridge, only a small one over a small creek, thats norman creek. okay, there is a walkway which goes under the bridge and back out the other side. near that walkway there is a large patch of grass next to someones house which is a cliff. straight down there is a sewer pipe. this is good to bring fish in. i used frozen prawns on light tackle, with one size 00 splitshot to a hook. this seemed to work well. i got 5 bream and an estuary cod. i didn't use lures, but they should work. i fished the outgoing tide but the incoming may still work.

good luck mate.

haven't fished there for a while but back then you couldn't. Had to park in the street that runs between the river & lytton rd.

There was sufficient space beside the area if you were willing to jump the gutter but now with the upgrade of the area it may not be possible..

hey krisso. i went for a drive-fish last night, tried up the creek a ways on the pontoon, for 0, fishermans island had a big aj head sitting at the top of the ramp and what appeared to be school mackrel heads on the sand, colmslie was dead as to the gateway, there's a little boat ramp at hemmant, which used to be beside the caravan park, there were a few bream frames and a good size bully frame beside the ramp, tried the southern boat ramp at manly, but very quiet there too, also went for a look behind the southern ramp at manly, but tide was out to far, but there was a lot of surface activity, looked like some sort of coffee rock or weed out a little bit from the foreshore, deffinately looks fishy though, i will be back there, i was throwing an sx40 all night the only good news i can give ya is, i didn't loose it lol.

got a spot you might like to try, so keep in touch hey.

cheers rob
