Tackle World Moruya Fishing Report May 6th 2022

Moruya River. Warm water and cool air typify this time of the year on the south coast. The river has been continuing to improve, and fish fairly well this last week. With the water continuing to clear, anglers are finding fish starting to reappear further up the system. Flathead, Bream, Trevally, Tailor, Salmon, Luderick and Estuary Perch have all made appearances this week for anglers getting out and enjoying a fish. The areas around Preddy’s wharf continue to produce fish, as do the areas around the airport flats. Further upstream, the quarry wharf and even up under the town bridge have started to produce more fish as the the waters clear and settle. All manor of techniques will work for you this weekend, from baits through to soft plastics and hard body lures. Take your pick and enjoy what is forecast to be a a nice clear weekend.

Tuross River. This system has benefitted hugely from the entrance opening up last month, the waters are running clean and clear, and the fishing is progressing well above four ways. Good numbers of Flathead, Bream, Luderick and Estuary Perch all have been found this week. While the lower sections continue to offer easier access to a feed of fish, the middle to upper sections are once again producing more and more catches. It is a great time of the year to be on the water, or on the banks looking for feed, so get out and enjoy the weekend on or around Tuross.

Rock and Beach. Bream, Whiting, salmon, Tailor have all been available on the beaches, Rockwell’s and headlands this last week. The Bonito continue to hang around for this want to spin up a feed from the stones. For the bream and whiting chasers, worms continue to the pick of the baits. Finding live worms continues to be a difficult, with some beaches having colonies, and others not. If worming isn’t your idea of fun bait collection, we have frozen worms available for you.

Offshore. The swells have been playing ball for the most part this week, and fingers crossed that continues this weekend, as there have been plenty of fish taken offshore this week. Snapper, Flathead and good sized Gummy sharks have all been reported from crews fishing out the front. Bonito also continue to grace the decks of a lot of boats also, whilst the kings have been underwhelming with the size and numbers that have been hanging around. This can change at any time.

Feel free to post pics of anything you catch here, we enjoy seeing what you all get up to.

So where ever you plan to fish this weekend, there will most likely be something for you to find. Get out and enjoy the warm days and calmer conditions, as winter is rapidly approaching.

Stay safe everyone and remember, “every days a good day for fishing…” Team Tackle World Moruya.
