Moruya River.
Despite the minimal rainfall experienced in Moruya itself, the river has a large catchment that extends a good way into the mountains, as such the river is running a little dirty as a result. Not as bad as the Clyde river is though.
There have been good reports this week of 4kg salmon along the front sections of the river from the mouth up to Preddy’s wharf. This may be a result of last weekends big swells, but hopefully there are still a few big-un’s around to keep local anglers amused.
The Flathead have gone a little quiet this week as a result of the dropping water temps, so you will need to work the deeper holes with slower moving presentations to get the bite. Metal blades or plastics hopped slowly the bottoms will still get the bite. Just remember that at this time of year mr flathead isn’t going to move a lot to chase a bait or lure.
Trevally continue to enjoy the cooler conditions, giving anglers something that pulls a bit of string and a tasty feed. Like the flathead, the bream have moved to the deeper holes and are not in an aggressive mood. Good oily baits or slowly worked lures will get the bite. Go deep, go slow!!
Tuross river.
The Mulloway are starting to make their presence known down here this last few weeks, chasing the whitebait that seems to be in abundance at the moment. The holes at the boat shed and in front of fourways are both likely spots to prospect. Small live mullets or white bait, or artificials that represent both are good options here.
Tuross is running clean for the most part, as the catchment didn’t as much rain as further north. Along this systems yet again the most productive one in the area.
The estuary perch haven’t really shown up yet to my knowledge, fingers x’ed they do.
Any deeper holes that are adjacent to an oyster rack system will be a good place to prospect a few bream this weekend.
Rock and Beach.
Salmon have been the main draw card along the beaches, headlands and breakwalls this week. A good mix of Trevally and the odd flathead and bream have kept this fishing the Moruya breakwall amused. The number of anglers on the wall is always a dead giveaway if the fish are there or not. If the wall is packed with anglers, there is a really good chance the fish are biting. The Moruya bar cam gives a clear image of not only the bar crossing, but how many people are on the wall itself.
Offshore.
With a post swell glass-out this week, many mid week anglers have been getting into good numbers of snapper, flathead and the odd tuna out wide. With a very distinct temperature break offshore, the game crews will no doubt be looking to the yellowfin that have been captured this last week.
