Backyard Blackies
Here's how to catch Blackfish in Sydney, what rigs you will need and where to go. Obelisk beach in Sydney Harbour is easily accessible and full of Black fish.

Finding the best fishing tackle at the lowest price for our clients can be a difficult quest. That’s why I always import a sample first, and test it on the water, before ordering a shipment. You can take all the glossy studio photos you like but if you want the best gear there’s no alternative to getting out on the water and testing the tackle.
