I used to talk to that wharf at least 5 times a week during Covid times. Such good memories. Thanks for sharing.

[@1upfishing]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@JYLFishing]

My childhood was spent there fishing as a kid. Used to live at Peakhurst and Illawong. 😀

[@1upfishing]

Sounds like a fun childhood. Have you taken the kayak up there? Seems ideal to flick a lure along the mangroves

[@mattd4616]

Great to see this part of the world again, my old stomping and hunting ground for the best part of 40 years

[@WildChuco]

One of my locals growing up. A great system. Unfortunate we can’t really eat out of it from that spill years ago but always great fun. Glad someone else is enjoying it 🤙🏽

[@1upfishing]

It's a shame no feed but still great fun

[@BarryBryant123]

Clear camera work and nice footage mate 👌🎣

[@1upfishing]

Thanks 👍

[@kienvuvan3080]

I think i saw you on the other side of the bridge that day. Actually night fishing under the bridge here is absolutely amazing, the bad thing is that a lot of mosquitoes out there at night time!

[@1upfishing]

Oh yeah I saw you catch two flatties

[@stevegriffiths5364]

Great informative video. Nice flathead haul, pity we can't eat them from that location...

[@Nadz770]

Reckon you can try going for kingies or pelagics maybe Sydney harbour or port hacking

[@1upfishing]

Yeah will def try for them. Hoped you're subscribed so you don't miss it 😅

[@sydneyfisherman]

i’ve been there a couple, it’s a decent place

[@dontbsilly8104]

Great fishing spot, they say you can’t eat out of there but I always do with no problems !!

[@1upfishing]

Great spot indeed

[@johnwoodrow8769]

I wouldn't eat anything caught upstream from the Capt Cook bridge in the Georges River/Botany Bay system. Where do people think all the road runn-off, old car oil tipped down drains, and waste from the light industry at the head of Salt Pan creek goes? Even worse is people who fish the mouth of the Cooks river. They should take a pushbike ride up the track beside it to see what it really is from a few hundred meters upstream, a storm-water drain.

Just subbed to help you along. Not a bad session.

[@88Seabass88-n5n]

Same

[@1upfishing]

Thank you!

[@nautijade3318]

Good video brutha ,goes to show there is still life even in the polluted back creeks …that was a perfectly good face mask 😷 too hoped you re used it 😂

[@1upfishing]

Complimentary face mask with every session

[@mitchh3760]

You'll have to start packing a rubbish bag! So many flayhead though! Why cant you eat the catch at this lovation?

[@1upfishing]

@mitchh3760 will need lots of bags!!! DPI says the pollutant levels are too high to safely eat our fish friends

[@kahfoosii2537]

I think Shroom caught a big jewie on that wharf. Kind of looks like the same place

[@1upfishing]

Yeah nice. Might give it a go

[@briangard3452]

i havnt been here since i was like 6 with dad , thinking i need to get back there hey looks good

[@1upfishing]

For sure. It's a fun little spot

[@briangard3452]

@@1upfishing i almost got that berkley rod too looked good :) how does it feel ?

[@1upfishing]

I really like it. Technically can't fault it. I just wish the drag was louder when peeling off haha

[@jon-t3b]

Early morning is pretty good with bloodworms or nippers. Theres some big bream with black rock grabs but hang onc ause theyre brutes.

[@1upfishing]

That sounds like a fun fight

[@whatsupshittafabraans1926]

Previous generations could give a, I remember the Italian bloke who serviced his own taxi when I was a kid early 70’s dumped his sump oil into the gutter , which ran down the storm water canals long Wolli creek, then Cooks river- Botany Bay. Criminal act today, the norm back then.

[@1upfishing]

Crazy times

[@daallaad]

Don't forget the paint factories

[@whatsupshittafabraans1926]

@@daallaad funny how we eat imported seafood from countries that pollute without a care

[@christopherzajac5993]

Next time you go salt pan go at night and fish lure at the other side under the bridge Jew and perch in the light line !

[@1upfishing]

Noted thank you 😊

[@apm285]

Can you eat the fush there

[@1upfishing]

Department of primary Industries says "Warning: Do not eat".

[@timsbike4887]

Mr 6 rods meat fisho would have had 8 out if you hadn't taken the other rocket launchers. Those guys keep anything even slightly edible and are in some spots every day all day.

[@1upfishing]

They'd be paying for it by eating anything from there

[@daallaad]

Should tell him the rod limit, not that it will change him but atleast make him feel. Awkward. Nice vid and man and good onya for releasing the dogs

[@1upfishing]

He didn't speak a word of English so would have been a struggle to tell him :S Cheers

[@RobInglis-tn8gz]

Bit risky eating anything caught there

[@1upfishing]

Just a bit. Free covid masks though 😷

[@tonyallen8626]

I knew Mr 6 rod's was Asian way before I heard him speak, i bet he's got no problem eating the fish out of that system.

[@michaelcalder9089]

Need the fishery inspector to blitz those that keep all fish., many rods and illegally net.

[@RobInglis-tn8gz]

If the bloke with six rods eats any of those fish, I’m sure he’ll be punished

[@michaelcalder9089]

Heavy metals all throughout this area. Government and EPA criminal neglect of the ecosystem.

[@1upfishing]

Such a shame

[@Richard-pt9gi]

@@1upfishing so much lead and plastic ay

[@johnnykronos230]

Pulled hundreds of jewies out off there before the Vietnamese starting netting it illegally with gill nets.
