How ever you choose to spend yesterday, I hope you made the most of it. We had a very busy day in the store, which has con nued what has been a very busy holiday period for us. The walls in the store are star ng to show signs of a busy season, and we are wai ng for freight to help top them back up again. The river has been fishing very well again this week, from the mouth all the way up into the mountains, there has been something for everyone. In the salty sec ons, bream, flathead, trevally, estuary perch, whi ng and tailor have all been available to those spending some me along the banks or on the water. There has been no real go to spot this week, as every part of the river has held the same chance at finding fish as any other. For the visi ng anglers, please make sure you are aware of the areas you can and can’t fish! I have spoken with several anglers this week, how have been fishing within the sanctuary zones, not realising they were doing so! The areas are usually pre y well sign posted, and ignorance will not stop fisheries from throwing the book at you, if you are caught fishing in the wrong area!

Preddy’s wharf, quarry wharf and the town wharf have all fished well this week, while the flats under the town bridge have also produced some good flathead, bream and the odd estuary perch.

Up in the sweet water, the Bass guys have been having some all me fun, with plenty of bass being taken on surface lures later in the a ernoon and spinnerbaits, hardbody lures, so plas cs and even the good old scrub worm during the day. Please remember that there is a daily bag limit of 2 fish per angler, with only 1 fish allowed to be over 35cm in size in rivers if you are going to take a feed.

Check out Chris Bamman’s latest YouTube video, for an idea of the bass season we have been having to date. Tuross River.

Tuross has been on fire this week from all reports! Flathead, bream, trevally and finally some cracker whi ng for those that have managed to get them to bite. The whi ng are there in big numbers, but the consensus of reports has been that they have been a bit hesitant to hit surface lures this week. Live nippers seems to have been the best bait op on this week, with plenty of refusal on the surface gear. Hopefully as water temps con nue to increase the surface bite will kick into overdrive!

The hole in front of the boat sheds has produced some nice flathead, Luderick and the odd mulloway this week, while the areas around four-ways has produced some very nice bream, flathead, estuary perch and again the odd mulloway in the holes,, snags and sand flats.

The areas around Bumbo have seen again some nice flathead, bream, estuary perch and the odd mulloway. As you can see, the whole system is firing at the moment, so get amongst it to get a feed for yourself, of just enjoy a great past me.

The bass boys and girls have also been having a great me of it in the fresh water part of Tuross, with plenty of good bass being taken this summer also. Rock and Beach.

Salmon on the beaches con nue to be the main stay for beach anglers, but the bream and whi ng are well on the chew now that the water temps have spiked. No par cular beach has been producing anymore than any other beach this week, and it has been a ma er of hurrying up and wai ng for the fish to come past where you are.

The Moruya breakwall has been producing some nice flathead and Trevally for those who know where to look, while bream and salmon have also been taken on the beach side further along the wall.

Offshore.

The gamefish season is in full swing at the moment, with the Marlin bite going off at the moment. From all reports the Tollgate Island classic that has just been run was a huge success with plenty of Billfish tagged. For the inshore crews, there have been good numbers of snapper in around 40-50m of water now that the temps have climbed, while in closer there have been good catches of sand and ger flathead in as li le as 10m of water.

We will be ge ng another drop of Kings product next week, so the gear we are currently out of will, for the most part be restocked. We have a new range of bite en cer rigs that are perfect for the estuary bait angler wan ng to chase bream, whi ng and even flathead, so come in store and check them out. The new Daiwa Jigheads are selling well, and by all reports hold a so plas c really well, and are strong and sharp.
