Blue Eyed Cod Deep Fishing

Blue Eyed Cod Deep Fishing launches from Sydney Harbour, New South Wales, Australia, on a full-day 9-hour offshore fishing trip that pushes out to reefs and shelf edges where giant cod, groper and gemfish roam. Operated by Find Fish Fast and run through Fishfinder Fishing Charters, this trip leaves from a selectable wharf in the harbour — you can select which wharf is best to meet within your booking. Please arrive 15 minutes before departure time! On board a stable, purpose-fit boat with a ten-person maximum, you'll head up to 60 kilometres offshore chasing deep-water species: Blue Eyed Cod, Bass, Groper, Hapuka and Gemfish.

The day is equal parts patient technique and sudden, violent action as heavy fish take bottom-bouncing rigs or vertical baits. The primary landscape is open ocean punctuated by reef pinnacles and the continental shelf drop; expect seawater that changes from green near the heads to deep blue at the ridges. Bird life — shearwaters and gannets — often give away schools; dolphins sometimes intercept lines.

This is a hands-on day made for anglers who want to fight large reef species and bring home a table-ready catch. The crew focuses on finding structure and reading current, alternating drift and anchored drops depending on conditions. Rigs, guidance, and local knowledge are included; you'll learn to feel the bottom, set hooks for heavy slow fish, and handle big fish alongside an experienced skipper.

Group size caps at ten so you get plenty of rod time. Why book here? Sydney Harbour is both an iconic arrival point and a direct conduit to productive offshore ground — its protected access and proximity to deep water make long-day trips practical without lengthy transfers. Find Fish Fast has built a local reputation for consistency and weather-aware scheduling; Fishfinder’s cancellation policy lets you reschedule or receive your deposit back if seas are unsafe.

Practical notes: trips run year-round but many anglers target winter months when deeper species stack; bring sea-sickness remedies, sun protection, and layered rainproof clothing. Legal bag limits and size minimums apply — check NSW fisheries rules before keeping fish. The experience suits confident anglers who can handle physical fights, long bouts on a moving deck, and changing weather; it’s less suitable for people with severe sea sickness or limited mobility.

Whether you’re chasing your first groper or targeting a trophy Blue Eyed Cod, this is a long, focused day on the water that combines Sydney’s harbor convenience with the raw challenge of deep-drop reef fishing. For many visitors, it becomes the best way to test tackle, learn local techniques, and walk ashore with a memorable catch. Booking includes experienced crew guidance, instruction, and an authentic Sydney offshore fishing experience for anglers.
