Check out hot spots for flathead

BEMM RIVER

Robyn Sturgess

At the time of writing, the entrance remains open and the fishing is unbelievable.

The channel, just past the storm hut, has been a hot spot for flathead, which have been taking plastics in recent weeks. The bream have also been biting well on frozen prawn in the Siberia and Mahogany area. Please be mindful that the water level is still low.

For those who know their way around the inlet, Bobs Bay is producing nice flatties and bream. The river has slowed down but is still producing bream and perch further upstream early in the morning and late in the afternoon. The salmon and tailor are also great fun on the incoming tide at the entrance.

All ocean beaches have been producing salmon, tailor and sea bream on the incoming tide. A warning to all anglers who fish with their creel over the side of their boat – the resident ‘Sammy Seal’ takes pleasure in taking all creels within his reach.

As always, make sure your safety gear is up to date, and start thinking about booking your Easter holidays now as the season continues to improve.
