Fishing near Wollongong city centre, New South Wales

New South Wales puts Wollongong city centre inside Wollongong. No water sits inside the town line, so every trip means a short drive. Here is the order: Port Kembla within 4.6 km to the south, Lake Illawarra within 11.9 km, Lake Woronora within 33.8 km to the north followed by Lake Alexandra within 40.9 km. Lake Woronora is small enough to walk round and read in a single session. These fish twelve months of the year. Time of day matters more than time of year. The variety is the useful part of this list. Timber in the water is the first thing to look for. Port Kembla is the near option, about 2.2 sq km in size. Boats go in at Port Kembla, going by the mapping. Locally recorded fish include shortfin eel, Australian sea bream, dusky flathead, Australian longfinned eel and jack mackerel. Take the New South Wales rules with you, since they apply throughout....
