Tackle World Moruya fishing report Sept 30th

Moruya River. With water temps in the river starting to increase, the fishing activity is doing likewise. There have been really good numbers of tailor towards the lower sections of the river, with Preddy’s wharf continuing to be a favourite place to find them early in the morning or late afternoon early evening. The seals however, have also been enjoying the free feed on offer. If the seals are present, then it’s time to find another spot to fish. As has been reported earlier in the week, the area known as hole in the wall, is now and always was, free to access and fish. The signs that were placed on the gap are being removed, hopefully they are all ready gone at the time this goes up. I will check this weekend to see what progress has been made. Further up the system, the bream and flathead have also been present in under the town bridge, so casting a few baits or lures from the bridge after dark could also be an option. The weather is going to be a factor this weekend, with the rain we have had this week, slowly starting to add a bit of colour to Moruya. A little bit of colour doesn’t hurt, as it can motivate fish to hunt under a bit more cover.

Tuross river. Flathead have been the main stay of the action this week in Tuross, with fish being taken from the front of the system to the back of the system. So there are plenty of options to explore. Trying to find a spot out of the wind, will be part of the battle early this weekend, but it is forecast to drop as the weekend progresses. The seals also seem to have found Tuross toothier liking, with reports of several seals taking up residence throughout the systems chasing both the mullet and tailor that are in the system in good numbers. So , like Moruya, if you find the seals are where you want to fish, your best option is to find another spot. There have also been bass continuing to move further up into the sweet water, so if bass are something you like to chase, early season is a good time to chase a few big fish.

Rock and beach. There have been good numbers of salmon on most of the beaches and the Moruya breakwall this week. With 3-4m seas today, the breakwall will be a bit wet, but the seas are forecast to drop off as the weekend progresses. The trick will be to find a spot that is comfortable to fish in the wind and swell conditions. Remember no fish is worth going for a swim for!

Offshore. With big seas today, the Moruya bar needs to be closely watched if you are planning a trip out this weekend. Remember that the bar cam is a really good tool to utilise for those thinking of going offshore. The sea state and wind are forecast to drop this weekend, so be safe if you are thinking of heading out.

We have new stock in store to check out, if you need a respite from the weather this weekend, so we have options for you.

Stay safe everyone and remember, “ everyday’s a good day for fishing…” Team Tackle World Moruya.
