Moruya River.
The only thing to really report from the river this week, is the visiting presence of a few nice salmon in the lower sections of the river. Both Preddy’s Wharf on the south side and the spur wall on the north side would be likely locations to try and target a light tackle salmon in the river. I would concentrate of a run in tide up to high and throw some small metals around or some pilchard pieces or whole white bait on small gang hooks. There has been a bit of size to these fish also, around 50-60cm. So super light gear will struggle to land one of these fish. I would look at 2-4kg or 3-5kg outfits with 2500-3000 sized reels for best chance at success. A 6-7 weight fly rod would also be a lot of fun for those who like to wave the long wand.
Tuross River. Much like Moruya the Tuross system is also cold and quiet at the moment. The salmon that Moruya has seen should also be visiting Tuross at the moment. Look towards the lower sections of the river around the main boat ramp and boat sheds to try and find a fish or two.
Rock and Beach.
Salmon have been the main stay of the fishing scene this week as per usual. Wind sock just north of the breakwall has been holding some very healthy specimens and numbers this week to date. Fish to 60cm have been fairly common and a lot of fun to catch.
The rock ledges are still producing good drummer for this wanting some close quarter combat action. They are also producing some nice crays for those prepared to don a wetsuit and dive for them.
Offshore. Snapper have been readily available on all of the local reefs this last week from 20m to 50m of water along with all the usual suspects you will find on the reefs. Flathead have also still been available in between the reefs over the sand as well.
For the game crews there continue to be yellow fin out wide at the moment as well.
While the days are starting to get longer, the water is still cold, and will continue to be so for a few more months. But with longer days, the waters will slowly start to warm.
We are still reasonably well stocked in the bait department at the moment, with the truck coming again next week.
We will also start to see new product from the Tackle Show last week slowly start to filter through over the next few months. So keep an eye on our socials for notifications of new product arriving.
Stay safe and remember, “everyday’s a good fay for fishing…”
