Moruya River and Tuross

Team Tackle World member Jade enjoyed his recent day off fishing the upper reaches of Tuross and was rewarded with a nice catch and release session on whiting (instinct poppers) and bream on Strada Piccola’s. Congrats to Noel who after quite a stint on the sidelines due to bad health has once again returned to the water this week to be rewarded with some nice catches of flathead throughout the system on Squidgy Wrigglers – welcome back Noel!! Earlier this week Mark enjoyed a good session fishing the flats down around the front of Moruya and was rewarded with nice catches (all released) of bream and flathead using Berkley Fat Dogs and Gladiator Bingo’s. The hole in the wall is still fishing well for luderick, which as per usual respond best to green weed or live nippers.

Rocks and Beaches

The well formed gutters at Goulburn workers remain successful for large catches of both salmon and tailor with the lure of choice being Arma Twistees or if you’re a bait fisher, ganged pillies. Live beach worms will almost guarantee a successful session for bream and whiting regardless of your beach of choice, and if you’re not one of the gifted who can catch the worms themselves, take the much easier route and secure your tub in store. Well formed gutters have now formed off Broulee as well with successful catches being brought in. If you’re fishing the break wall, you’re likely to be rewarded with salmon, tailor and flathead. Again, the salmon will respond to Arma Twistees, which are a smart choice because the tailor will hit them just as hard.

Offshore

Congrats go out to a lucky angler onboard Winda Woppa who while fishing for snapper using a paternoster rig hooked a Marlin estimated to be around the 100 kg range – well done! Captain Ron also had some luck out in the 30 metre mark for flathead while snapper, mowies, extra large pigfish, kingies and gummy sharks were all out around the 50 metre mark. For extra success try using an instinct flasher rig – these three hook feathered paternoster rigs with a little bit of squid on the hook work a real treat for all types of bottom bashing.

Have a great weeks fishing everyone and remember "everyday's a good day for fishing..."
