The Recreational Fishing Alliance, the peak body representing NSW’s 1 million anglers, has produced a detailed map showing that 60.72 per cent of Sydney Harbour is off limits or otherwise restricted to recreational fishing activities. The research into the restrictions was compiled by a group of anglers from South Sydney Amateur Fishing Association, bream tournament anglers and fishing charter operators who use the harbour extensively.

“However, we have groups like the National Parks Association wanting to impose sanctuary zones which would see at least another 20 or 30 per cent of the harbour closed to fishing. That would leave just 10 or 20 per cent of the harbour available for recreational fishing,†RFA president Stan Konstantaras told Fisho today.
