Moruya River.
The warm water continues to influence fish activity in the river this week, with schools on bonito being seen and taken on an incoming tide around the Preddy’s wharf area this week. While not large, they are a lot of fun on light gear, and if bled quickly, eat really nicely with a firm white flesh not typical for a tuna species.
Bream and flathead have also been readily available around the same areas this week also.
Try the airport flats with live nippers or squirt worms if you are looking for a whiting or two.
Further upstream the flats under the town bridge are holding good numbers of bream, whiting and flathead. I managed 5 last Saturday on 4” Zman Diezel Minnow soft plastics, but released all 5, as they were all under my self prescribed 40cm minimum size. I did witness several over the 45-50cm mark, but they were unable to beat the smaller fish to the lures. Fun to watch, but frustrating when all you want is a fresh feed of flatty fillets.
Expect the quarry wharf and the holes in front of the hospital to be holding bream, flathead, whiting and trevally also.

Tuross River.
Tuross has been on fire this week, with reports aplenty. Bream, flathead and whiting have all been on the radar this week. Bo, one of our weekend staff, managed several nice whiting on surface last weekend fishing in holes around the 3-4m mark. The fish ranged from 30-40cm, he is on this weekend, so if you want to know what he was using come in and ask him.

Rock and Beach.
Bream, whiting and salmon have been readily available this past week, with no particular beach fishing any better than the next. It really is a matter of finding where the fish are on any chosen day, or waiting for them to cross paths with where you are located. Fish on the beaches tend to prefer good structure in the form of prominent gutters, so find these features on your chosen beach, and hopefully you will find the fish.

Offshore.
Bonito, Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Snapper and Flathead have all been available this past week.
I have it on good report that the bonito have been favouring small metals with white lures being the preference.

The bait freezer has been restock this week, block Pilchards are still not available, everything is however, so we should be good for the weekends fishing pursuits.

We still have 30% off all Joybee’s foot wear, so if you are looking some comfy kicks, come in and check out what is available.
I start 3 weeks leave this weekend, and I will be doing a heap of fishing, Graham will be instore during the week, with our usual weekend staff providing you with all the good oil as usual.
Stay safe everyone and remember, “Every day’s a good day for fishing…”
