The Hawkesbury
September 28th, 2008
Below are locations in this mighty river system.The Rail bridge,Flint and steel,Juno Pt,Cogra Bay.”Deliverance Country”,launching out of Bayview ,Moonee Moonee , Parsley Bay and of late Akuna Bay,Cottage Pt.
Launching outa’ Parsley Bay near Moonee Moonee puts you right in the heart of this mighty river near The Road and Rail Bridges where another journey begins.
This thread will cover from Cogra Bay up past the different creeks/Berrowra,Cowan,Macdonald,Mullet,Webb,Mangrove and finally The Colo.
Leaving Parsley in our wake we ducked out to the left,heading up river,under the rail bridge and on to Cogra Bay.Real “Deliverance ” country but good fishing grounds.Oyster racks and mangroves make a good blend for breaming,and flatties.
On returning to the bridge we tried a hand at Jew fishing near the pylons,which has some nice deep holes.Probably better at night ,several days after the full moon.
Jewies on light gear will test you out!Big live baits or lures such as the Halco Laserpro-
On to Juno Pt. which is a well renowned big Jew spot and excellent drifting ground for flatties.Proceeding East for the arvo session to Flint And Steel.Boat traffic is a hassel at times!
The Upper Hawkesbury presents some great fishing with heaps of creeks and tributaries.Some interesting reading can be found in “Cruising Guide to The Hawkesbury” by John and Jocelyn Powell.
Bass and Estuary Perch can be found in numbers in it’s upper reaches.
