Tingalpa creek kayak fishing

[JosephFarley]

G'day all. I'm thinking I'll put in my kayak at the boat ramp down at lota and head out to fish the mouth. I am looking to get a feed for Christmas. What I would be targeting would be anything that's good on the table. What fish are people getting at the mouth of the creek around this time and what bait is most popular. All answers will be appreciated. Thanks

Hi JosephFarley

I think that you will be able to get some Sand Whiting there. By using live yabbies (if you can pump them), or alternately worms may work, you will have a chance at a whiting, bream, or even a flathead.

Yep, Hamish is on the money. Never fished it myself but is supposed to be good for whiting (which are one of the best eating fish imo).

Yep plenty of yabbies to be pumped. We fished out around the mouth/channel leading into it on Wednesday last week and my young son caught a couple of undersized squire, one of which had a gob full of prawns (we were using we castnetted at the Manly Harbour ramp). Also had a couple of small sharks cutting the boys hook off to, so if you like flake to eat, perhaps put a floating pillie out the back of your kayak (not sure how you'd go landing it though ..... ).
