sports Tackle World Moruya Fishing Report

Moruya River. Well, haven’t we had just a wee bit of rain!!? As a result, the Moruya river is looking a li le on the shabby side. With the river running brown and very fresh, fishing op ons, are yet again going to be limited. The lower, deeper sec ons of the river, and an incoming de will most definitely help improve your op ons this weekend. The upside of the rain is that it will force a lot of bait to the lower sec ons on the river or completely out of it all together. This creates an opportunity to fish an area where the fish have been forced into, concentra ng them into pockets. Best bait or lure op ons will be oily baits, such as mullet or tuna fillet, with lures that have flash and noise making poten al your best bet. Try any type of paddle tail so plas c or vibe style lure with scent added, and fish the deeper holes that will hold be er sal er water. For the bait brigade, definitely use some burley to help a ract the fish to you. Tuross River. All the same condi ons that Moruya is experiencing this weekend will apply to Tuross also. Tuross does have the advantage that it is a bigger system, and as a result will offer a few more areas to try for a fish. The hole in front of the boat shed will be a really good op on to try this weekend, as will the hole in front of four ways. A live poddy mullets sent into these holes has the chance to be intercepted by a large flathead or even a mulloway as they set themselves up to ambush any bait fish that has been flushed down the system. Persistence will be the key in these less than ideal condi ons to find fish. Rock and beach. The mouths and the beaches adjacent to them should be holding fish that have set themselves up to take advantage of the flush out we are currently experiencing. With Durras And Mummaga lakes both being opened this week due to levels hi ng the trigger points, expect to see some ac on on the beaches that sit in front of theses local lakes. We can expect that Coila will also be following as it is star ng to look VERY full. Try fishing the very front of Coila lake as the fish will be moving down to the front in prepara on of the lake opening. The beach side of Moruya breakwall towards the end of the wall should also see some ac on this weekend, but keep an eye on the swell, with Sunday forecast to be over 4m! Offshore. The dirty water will be pushing a fair way offshore this weekend, making finding fish a li le harder. Sunday is not shaping up to be the best day to head out, as stated before the swell will be up. It may be a good weekend to do some boat maintenance, check your safety flares are s ll in date, and get ready for the summer season.

I s ll haven’t heard back from NSW Waterways as to why the signs at the hole in the wall were put in place, neither have they been removed as of last weekend. To be honest, I’m not expec ng to hear back from them as to the why, but I will keep an eye out for the removal of the signs. We have fresh stock in store, with some new product hi ng the shelves, and more changes underway. I will be pos ng on our socials as things progress, as they safe in the classics…watch this space! Stay safe everyone and remember, “every days a good day for fishing…” Team Tackle World Moruya.

South Coast Property Specialists (Carlene Franzen) Tips #1117: Property Market Perspec ve

We are all seeing reports about the market “slowing down” and “property prices falling” and of course they are. That’s what property (and pre y much any investment) does. From me to me, it goes up and down, it speeds up and slows down. Like most investments, property is not a short-term proposi on. So, it is important to keep some perspec ve on what is really happening in the market over a reasonable period of me and not get too caught up in the sensa onal media headlines.

For example, in many loca ons the property market increased around 30% (or more) over the last 3 years. Even if the market has fallen 10%, it is s ll worth 20% more than before the pandemic. I’m sure if someone offered you 20% more than your property was worth in early 2020 most people would have jumped at the opportunity.

And now we are already seeing the fall star ng to slow. The Reserve Bank’s rate increase of 0.25% was also lower than most people expected with one (maybe brave) analyst predic ng there might only be one more increase to come. Regardless, it does indicate that no one needs to hit the panic bu on.

In a recent property market update (propertyupdate.com.au/australian-property-market-predic ons/) the following predic ons for house price growth over the calendar year 2022 were made by Dr Andrew Wilson, chief economist of My Housing Market:

 Sydney property values will end the year down -6%, led by the more expensive end of the market, but this is a er home values increased by 31.6% over the last 3 years.  Melbourne property values will also fall -6% over the calendar year a er growing by almost 19% in the last 3 years.  Brisbane property values will end the year 11% higher  Adelaide property values will grow by 12% in 2022  Perth property values will finish the year 9% higher

The takeaway from the above predic ons is that the overall Australian mean property value will end up much the same as at the start of the year. So that doesn’t seem like gloom and doom to us.
