Tackle World Moruya Fishing Report October 28th 2022

Moruya River.

Well, wasn’t last weekend a wet one! With up to 120mm falling in a 24 hour period, the river is predictably worse for wear. This has made the fishing difficult this week to say the least. A run on tide towards the front half of the system is most likely to offer you the best chance of finding fish this weekend.

Try lures with lots of vibration potential or oily baits for best chance of success. The new Atomic Real Baits for this bill perfectly.

We can expect the dirty water to start to clear up over the next few weeks provided we don’t get significant follow up rains.

The river levels up in the Duea have already dropped to over half of what they were last weekend. Once they start to run clean and clear again, we can expect that Moruya river will start to clean up.

Tuross River.

Tuross is facing the same issues that Moruya river is at the moment. Lots of dirty water pushing the fish down the system. The lower sections are going to be your best place to look this weekend, with the incoming tide offering cleaner, warmer water to hopefully spark some life back into the system.

If you are going to get the tinny out this weekend, keep an eye out for floating and submerged debris, as flood waters push all kinds of stuff downstream!

Rock and Beach.

The beaches away from the river mouths are going to have the cleaner water this weekend, and as such will offer the best chance of finding fish. Moruya breakwall is still very dirty at the moment, and this seems to be the case all the way up to Broulee. I would be looking at the beaches south of Tuross for the best chance of finding cleaner water.

The swells don’t look to be too bad this weekend, although there is going to be a bit of wind around by the looks of the forecast.

Offshore.

Look towards the deeper reefs this weekend if you are trying for a snapper or two 40-50m mark isn’t a bad place to look.

For the game crews, the current is pushing hard down from the north bringing warm water, and by the reports out of the bay this week, Yellowfin Tuna. Look for the temperature or current breaks to find the bait, and hopefully a few hungry pelagics.

The forecast this weekend is looking warm and clear for a change. Good luck if you are going to get out and make the most of the good weather conditions.

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