Moruya River.
The action this week has again been concentrated towards the front half of the system. Areas like Preddy’s wharf, quarry wharf and the airport flats all seeing the majority of the bite action. There have been good numbers of chopper tailor for the kids to have fun with around all the lower, local jetties. Small metal lures or baits of pilchard pieces have helped secure these scrappy little fighters. There have also been good flathead and bream also caught this week, with the rising tide and the subsequent colour change areas producing a better class of fish. The flats under the town bridge have seen the odd flathead and bream taken as the tide pushes up and over the flats bringing cleaner warmer water to this area.
With La Niña confirmed again for this summer, expect the majority of the action towards the fronts of the system with the the higher than usual rainfall forecast.
Tuross River.
The flathead and Luderick have been in good numbers this last week, whilst they have mostly been located towards the front of the system. Try the areas around the main boat ramp, poor mans corner and the boat sheds for consistent catches of all the regular estuary species, Bream, Flathead, Luderick, tailor and the odd Mulloway if you’re lucky. As the rising tide pushes cleaner, warmer water further up the system, follow the colour change created by the rising tide for a better chance further up the system.
Coila lake has already started to see lots of people trying their hand at catching a few kilos of prawns. With the dark still a week or two away, you can expect the prawning action to increase. All the local coastal lakes can hold prawns, so Brou, Coraunna and Durras are all worth a look. If prawning this summer is something you are interested in, come in and have a chat with us, we have plenty of stock to get you started.
Rock and beach.
There continue to be good numbers of both tailor and salmon from the beaches and rocks this last week. With this weekends gale wind warnings combined with Hazardous Surf warnings all along the coast,the beaches and rock platforms are most definitely worth leaving alone. Once the winds and swell abate though, you a can expect there to be a few good Drummer, Bream and maybe the odd snapper to be found from the stones.
Offshore.
There have been reports of Albacore Tuna offshore, all be it along way offshore. There has continued to be good catches of snapper and flathead from 20m through to 50m depths this last week. Though this weekend will see less than ideal conditions for venturing out to chase a fish in the deep.
Stay safe everyone and remember, “every days a good day for fishing…”
