Fishing Report 27th June 2025
Moruya River.
There hasn’t been a lot of reports from the river this week. A combination of cold temps and not alot of people fishing, or coming into the shop does make for quiet week days.
The lower sections of the river, on an incoming tide seem to be the best period to try the river. The spur wall seems to have the most activity at the moment, with bream, flathead and salmon the common captures at the moment.
With the clarity of the water at the moment, longer, lighter leaders are required to get the bite. You have to balance how light you go with the chance of getting a bigger salmon that could break you off. Start at around 10lb fluorocarbon, and go down to 6lb or lower if needed.
Tuross River.
This time of year is a good time to target some big black bream in both Coila lake and the Tuross system. Hard body lures are one of my favourite options to chase them this time of year. But for those skilled enough, soft plastics are also a great option. 2.5” minnow or grub style patterns work really well, slowly worked this time of year, as do blade style lures.
Look for the drop offs or weed bed edges for the best chance at finding a blue nose black bream.
The deeper holes will also hold the odd mulloway this time of year, but the colder water does make them a bit less active. Persistence is the key to finding fish and getting them to bite.
Rock and beach.
Warmer ocean temps are providing more fish activity in and down the coast this week. Salmon are the main stay, with drummer also offering plenty of opportunity for a feed from the stones.
There have also been a few reports of snapper from the rocks for those anglers that are prepared to walk into the better spots this time of year. Squid baits do offer a better chance at finding a red from the stones.
Offshore.
Local anglers chasing snapper this time of year are finding a few nice fish around, with fish being found in as little as 10m of water all the way out to 40m. Flathead are also available over sand areas.
The swell and winds look ok for the weekend, but are building early next week.
This weeks special in store is, 20% off all life jackets, so if your boating safety gear needs an upgrade, this week is the time to stop in.
The bait freezer has been restocked, with mullet fillet once again back in the freezer. Stock of it is limited however, so grab it while you can.
Stay safe everyone and remember, “Everyday’s a good day for fishing…”
