Your Up to Date fishing report from Tackle World Moruya March 12th 2021

Moruya River.

The river continues fish reasonably well this last week, with a few nice bream flathead, trevally and the odd whiting taken throughout the system. Down from Preddy’s, the hole in the wall has seen a few nice bream come boat side on floated baits and lures. Expect to find a few nice trevally mixed in amongst the bream to really liven things up. Live nippers, whitebait and a range of soft plastics have all worked this week. Around the plentiful flats in the system, on a run out tide, there have been some nice flathead also caught this week.

In around the town bridge, there have also been a few nice flathead and bream caught on the flats in the middle of the river. These can be accessed from the bridge itself, kayak or from a boat. This is also a good spot to pump nippers on a low tide.

Let’s see what the bit of rain over the last few days, and into the weekend does to the river again.

Tuross River.

Plenty of good flathead have been taken this last week. Especially last weekend, with the Tuross Bram & Flathead comp on. I believe the winning flathead was around the 80cm mark, with the fishing on Sunday harder than the Saturday.

The lower sections of the system have yet again this last week been more productive than further up the system. The upper section still appear to be dirtier than the lower section, a result in doubt of the continues rain that persists in the catchment areas.

There have been reports of good numbers of whitebait in around the boat shed area. This will most defiantly attract the attention of big flathead, tailor and mulloway.

Rock and beach.

The salmon continue to be thick on the beaches at the moment, with there still being good catches of bream and whiting as well. Live beach worms or pipis will attract the whiting, whist the bream will quite happily take the same or a half pilchard. Moruya breakwall continues to see good numbers of salmon, trevally, bream and the odd flathead on a mix of baits and lures.

Offshore.

The flathead continue to keep anglers happy and iceboxes full this week, with the magic 30-40 marks producing lots of fish. For the game crews, there have been Marlin out wide.

Last weekend big seas did however catch one boat crew down Merimbula way out, when a big wave flipped the boat and put 3 people in the water. Luckily no ones was seriously hurt. It was captured on camera and posted to social media, please keep an eye on the weather and the sea conditions before crossing any coastal bars. A days fishing is not worth losing your life over.

On that note, if you are thinking of heading out this weekend, check the conditions as Sundays forecast at this stage is for near gale force winds of around 50kph!!!

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