Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Liverpool
Fishing in Liverpool, Australia revolves around the tidal reaches of the Georges River and its feeder creeks, making it a convenient estuary system for anglers based in Sydney’s west. The key stretch runs from Moorebank down towards Milperra and beyond, with a mix of deep, slow holes and shallower, structure-laden banks that consistently produce bream, flathead, mulloway and bass.
Seasonal patterns are important on the Georges. Through spring and early summer, bream and flathead become more active along the edges and around structure, while bass and estuary perch fire up in the sweeter, less salty sections upstream. Mid-summer to early autumn sees peak action for surface-feeding species; small poppers and walk-the-dog lures draw explosive strikes from bream, whiting and bass at first and last light. Late autumn and winter favour deeper presentations: bream and trevally school in channels and around bridge pylons, and mulloway respond well to live baits and soft plastics fished tight to drop-offs and deep holes.
The main habitat types around Liverpool include bridge pylons, rock revetment walls, mangrove-lined banks, sand and mud flats, and deeper bends in the river. Bridge areas and rock walls hold bream, trevally and tailor, especially when there is good tidal flow. Mangrove edges and shallow flats are prime for flathead ambush points; look for drains and small feeder creeks emptying into the river after rain. Deeper holes and channel edges are the domains of mulloway and larger flathead—identify them by watching your sounder from a boat, or by noting where the bank drops away sharply on land-based spots.
Effective techniques around Liverpool are split between bait and lures. For bait fishing, run a light to medium spin outfit (2–4 kg or 3–6 kg) with a simple running sinker rig. Use prawns, pilchard pieces, chicken strips, and live herring or mullet for bream, flathead and mulloway. Fish close to structure: cast along rock walls, beside pylons, or into the edge of deeper channels rather than the open middle.
Lure anglers score consistently by covering water. For bream and whiting, small 40–70 mm hardbodies, crankbaits and surface lures worked slowly across shallow banks and along walls are deadly, especially on rising and falling tides. Flathead respond well to soft plastics in the 3–4 inch range on 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads; hop them down slope lines and across sand patches. Target mulloway at dawn, dusk and into the night with larger soft plastics or soft vibes fished deep and slowly near obvious structure and channel drop-offs.
Tactical tips for Liverpool include timing trips around tide changes and low-light periods, when predatory fish move closer to the edges. After rain, focus near creek mouths where bait concentrates. Use stealth: keep noise down on rock walls and approach quietly in a boat, as the relatively narrow river magnifies disturbance. Light leaders (6–10 lb) get more bites from bream and whiting in clear water, while a step up to 15–25 lb fluorocarbon helps when specifically targeting mulloway and big flathead in snaggy sections of the Georges River around Liverpool.

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 3 wharf(s) in this area.
South Park Wharf - 2.8386034553km , Bradbury Wharf - 3.29501828788km , Long Point Wharf - 3.73793380237km
Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 12 beaches and bays in this area.
