Some people do fish. A better spot for bream is the training wall at the
bottom of Kooragang.

Yes, I've fished there several times and now know where all the snags
are. I also managed the odd flathead further along to the
right. I don't fish Kooragang often as it takes me 45 - 50 minutes to
peddle my bike over there.

I fished the retaining wall near the large concrete block north of
Stockton bridge yesterday morning. I got there at 5 AM and wouldn't
you know, it starts to rain and blow for over an hour. I had to get
stuck into the thermos of hot tea to warm up.

Caught a couple of legal bream and a flathead over the next 5 hours
but decided to release them. One of these days, I'll have to cross
over the chunk of the wall that has been removed to allow water to
flow into the marsh. I saw a bloke do it just before I left and he
didn't appear to have cut his feet on the oyster shell covered rocks.

I keep hoping I'll win the lottery so I can buy a car, boat and
trailer.
