    General Sydney/Aussie Customs: Fisherman's Dream!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Because Sydney is so coastal... there are plenty of fishing HOT Spots. Personally we both like to fish and do it often.

    The "REAL" Fisherman come out at nights, so the only people you will see on the roads in the early mornings are the true fisherman.

    You need a Fishing License to fish in Sydney. It can be purchased at any local gas station for a small fee. If you are caught without a liscence they will fine you.
