Moruya River.
We have a little bit of weather this week, but it hasn’t slowed the fish activity.
Good numbers of flathead, bream and whiting have continued to be caught around the airport flats, hole in the wall and quarry wharf. There are large numbers of small tailor in the river at the moment, which has been taxing of both soft plastic tails and on bait rigs. Under these schools however, there is a better than average chance there will be a lurking flathead or two picking up scraps that a school of chopper tailor miss.
The town bridge is looking good for a night session this weekend, with high tides coinciding after dark at the moment, you can expect to find trevally, estuary perch and some nice flathead on the sand flats in the middle of the river and around the drop offs. Look at the weed bed edges on the southern bank to find a few estuary perch.
Further upstream, the hole in front of the hospital is holding fish, as is the bend up, around Yarragee. Flathead, bream, estuary perch and the odd whiting can all be found.
Tuross.
Flathead are still in very good numbers in this system, and are available from the front to the upper extent of the salts reach. Along the way, expect Bream, whiting estuary perch and whiting to also be on the cards. All methods are working at the at tempting fish at the moment, so whether it be baits or lures you prefer, you should be able to tempt a fish or two.
Bass continue to be a very good option in the fresh reaches of the river. With spinner baits hard body diving lures and surface lures all working well on this iconic Australian species.
Rock and Beach.
This has been where most of the action has been last week, with salmon schools a plenty on the beaches and headlands. The major news has been the Longtail Tuna that blew through last Friday. With nice sized fish being taken from Pretty Point last Friday. Unfortunately due to last saturdays triathlon, I was unable to give Pretty point a fish as access was closed off. Fingers tossed there are still a few around this weekend, but given they were reported off Tatura on Sunday, chances are they have moved out of the area. Bonito are also available at the moment from the stones.
The bream and whiting are also available from the gutters in close on most beaches at the moment, so a few live nippers or beach worms will go a long way to tempting a few fish to you.
Offshore.
Boat crews are having a hard time deciding what to target this week. With snapper, flathead, gummies, Tuna and Marlin all available in close this week.
The snapper are in close, in as little as 15m of water, they are also out deeper in 50-60m, so you can decide how far you want to go for a feed.
With the warm water still pushing hard down the coast, now is the time to capitalise on the exceptional conditions. Sunday is shaping up to be the better of the days, with both winds and swell conditions favouring the later half of the weekend.
Bait supplies are the same this week as last. Mullet, worms and block pilchards are still unavailable, while I am well stocked on everything else.
The new Shimano Arma Joint Swim baits have finally arrived in store, so if you are looking to throw one at big flathead or estuary mulloway, come in and check them out. I have had a restock of dive gear arrive this week, so snorkelers are going to be well looked after this Easter holidays.
Today is your last chance to get 25% off all Atomic Arrowz rods, as the March madness finishes at close of business today. I still have a few in stock, so see you today if this interests you.
We also now, as of 2 minutes ago, have a recycling drop off point for any old unwanted fishing line, line spools, hooks & sinkers available in store. Please NO wet or dirty items, and definitely NO Bait packaging.

Stay safe everyone and remember, “every days a good day for fishing…”
