Hey guys,
Here goes for this week's fishing report.
Moruya River -
The Bridge has been fishing extremely well during the night,
with large flathead and perch attracted to 100mm Red Rum Squidgy
Wrigglers. Tackle World Moruya members Nathan and Justine had
a very successful session for bream on poppers along the Rockwall
and perch around the boulders. Garland town provided Tackle
World Moruya members Mark, Angus and Nelly with numerous catches of
whiting, which responded best to live beach worms. If it's
the luderick you're after, throwing out some greed weed at the Hole
in the Wall is your best bet.
Tuross -
The shallow water around the flats is providing large amounts of
flathead and whiting (being caught on beach worms); however, the
sizes are in the majority below legal, so best to get your ruler
out if you're fishing for dinner. When fishing the deeper
holes, both bait and soft plastics are proving very effective for
jewfish. Around the back of the system, if you're fishing for
bream it's best to cast SX40's and Crankstas into the snags.
Tackle World Moruya members Nathan and Justine continue to use
Crankas and Cameons successfully to reel in large catches of bass
up the river.
Rocks and Beaches -
The ever-present salmon remain in the gutters on the beaches,
responding best to salted pilchards and live beach worms.
Tackle World Moruya member John reports that Congo beach is fishing
quite well for whiting on beach worms, however, the bream have been
consistently small - so it's best to throw these ones back.
Casting around the rock wall will reward you with tailor, which are
hitting metal slices. If you're hungry for some salt and
pepper squid throw out some UV Blast Squid Jigs off Congo and
prepare for a fantastic seafood dinner!
Offshore -
Captain Ron aboard Winda Woppa I and II reports the larger
kingfish are being caught around the 50m of water mark off the
bottom on live bait and squid. In a bit closer at the 25m
mark, snapper up to 5kg are hitting fish bait and Lucanus jigs
early in the morning - the early fisho catches the snapper, as they
generally go off the bite as the sun rises higher in the sky.
Back out in the deep - 60m of water - the pigfish and extra large
nannygai are responding best to fish bait, pilchards and
squid. Tackle World Moruya VIP member Spider reports large
kingfish are responding best to live bait off Pedro. As there
is a mild current running the use of a sea anchor is
advisable.
Good luck -
Tackle World Moruya wishes good luck to the competitors of the
Southern Squidgy Bream Series, of which Tackle World Moruya is
proud to be a major sponsor.
Tight lines,
Team Tackle World Moruya
