💡 Fishing Tips & Tricks on Lake Illawarra

  • Try to fish from and around the bridge on the south side of Lake Illawarra. There is also a ramp near the bridge.
  • Slow drift is not a good idea for Lake Illawarra because of the quick tides. The best fishing time is between the run out and run in tide which lasts only 30 minutes.
  • Concentrate on the snags in the shallows, it is where good-sized bream hide.
  • Poppers work great for attracting whitings and bream in shallow water. Soft plastic prawn lures are amazing in the moonlight.
