Laparouse in Botany Bay off the rocks or on the beach [no waves] the place to catch a GIANT whiting.A couple food shops are walking distance.

I'll second the above but also the Harbour opposite Watsons Bay or near the naval base in front of Balmoral, some good size flatties, bream and tailor at the right time.

I never get past the boat ramp. Honestly, you can spend hours watching people trying to reverse, and its a whole lot of laughs. One guy had his dads boat and being a hero in front of his mates, decided to reverse down the ramp fast, jump on the brakes and launch it off the trailer. Well, he misjudged his distances and launched it right into the concrete. Seriously, one of the funniest days out.
