Moruya River.
Sorry for the late report, the shop has been and is quiet busy at the moment.
There have been good catches of flathead, bream, tailor and trevally throughout the river this week. The airport flats have been producing some nice flathead for the holiday crowds, while around the quarry wharf there have been some nice catches of bream and Trevally. The trevally have at times been very hard to get a bait or soft plastic past. It’s a good thing they are a tasty feed.
The town bridge has been holding numbers of flathead, bream and Trevally, with the south side of the river holding estuary perch over the weeds beds after dark.
Up around hospital, there have been numbers of bream and Trevally holding in the deeper holes.
Further upstream around Yarragee bend, good numbers of flathead and the odd bream have been caught over the sand and gravel beds.
Tuross River.
The flathead have been on fire throughout the last week in Tuross despite the water temp hasn’t really climbed past 18deg. The potato point side of Tuross has been holding some flathead and bream, while the boat shed area has also had a similar presence of both flathead and also bream.
Up around four ways, bream estuary perch, and the king of Tuross the humble flathead have all been regular catches.
The Teal bridge up Bodalla way continues to hold good numbers of fish, with flat head over the sand flats and bream in the snags that line the river banks along this stretch of river. Snake flat, just upstream of the Bodalla bridge, is also holding all of the previously mentioned species.
Rock and beach.
Now that the winds have eased a bit, beach fishing will be a more enjoyable option this weekend.
There have been plenty of salmon on the beaches, while the bream and whiting are still a little on the scares side as a result of the pool of cooler water that is holding offshore, and won’t seem to budge.
Moruya breakwall, continues to be a popular location this time of the year, with 30+ anglers regularly seen lined up along its length. There have been the usual suspects being caught, with salmon, bream, flathead and Trevally all making an appearance at times.
Offshore.
The weather gods have smiled this week, with flat seas allowing boaties to get out and enjoy the conditions.
Snapper have been coming boatside in the magic 30-40m mark, while the sand and tiger flathead have been coming from as little as 15m right through to 40m mark.
I haven’t heard of anything note worthy on the game fish scene of late, so I have nothing to report on that front.
Don’t forget that double demerit points are in force this weekend as well.
Stay safe everyone and remember, “every days a good day for fishing…”
