Hey guys,
Here goes for this week's fishing report.
Moruya River -
The river remains kind to fishermen and women, with great
reports piling into the shop. Flathead and whiting are still
being caught from the hospital flat, with the flathead being caught
mostly on shallow diving Cranka Lures. These lures are
fantastic, and as such as walking out the door so you better be
quick! If its whiting you're after, stock up on surface
lures, such as Zappers and Squidgy Poppers for the biggest catches
over the flats. If you're around the Quarry wharf and down
around Preddy's you'll catch plenty of tailor, but make sure you're
an early bird because these fish go deep during daylight
hours. The flounder are everywhere in the river, so pick a
spot and sling out some prawns or whitebait. The hole in the wall
remains fishing well for luderick, which are also from the Quarry
wharf down.
Tuross -
Hey kids! Get out and have a go at the Tuross 'Hooked on
Fishing' comp this weekend. You can register all weekend and
if you're lucky enough to start pulling in the big ones, you might
find yourself the winner of Tackle World Moruya prizes! So
start doing the dishes and convince Mum and Dad that they should
really take you down and let you get in on the fun. If its
details you're after pick up a flyer from Tackle World Moruya and
the staff will be happy to fill you in. Great catches of
flathead, bream and nice sized perch are being had from front to
back, with the bass further up in the fresh. With reports of
up to 47cm bass, it seems you don't need to be a kid to have fun in
Tuross this weekend! Whiting are also hitting fresh beach worms
hard down the front and in quality sizes.
Beaches and Rocks -
Plenty of benito are swimming around the Broulee rocks.
Catch their interest with some Armour metal slices and Twisties for
the bigger fish. Around Goulbourn Workers, the bream,
flathead, salmon and tailor are still hitting hard on salted
pillies and live beach worms. The beach worms are squirming
right out the door, so make sure you secure your bucket!
Decent sized whiting and salmon are still being pulled in off
Broulee beaches.
Offshore -
Captain Ron aboard Winda Woppa I and II joins with Tackle World
Moruya in our congratulations to Jack, who is a fishing veteran of
35 years and recently bagged his personal best king fish out in 71
metres of water off Moruya. Large snapper, mowies and king
fish are staying within the 54 metre water mark, which means it's
time to throw out your sea anchor! Be patient however, as all
good things take time - which is usually sped up by proper use of
some burley. Out the front of the surf club, around the 12
metre mark, the snapper are responding best to Burkley Gulp 6 inch
Nuclear Chicken, with some decent sizes rewarding fishos. If
it's the 30-40 metre mark you're in, it's likely you'll pull in
some tiger flathead, fish bait and squid. Marlin chasers that
have ambitions of hitting the shelf should give Ron a call on
0404966607 and book an appointment before they all fill up.
