Open estuary mouths where tidal flows now occur once again are producing some great opportunities for those starting out through to the more experienced angler whether fishing by lure or with fresh bait.
The likes of the Bega River, Wallaga Lake, and Cuttagee to name a few are filled with bait including prawns, garfish, whitebait, mullet and more .
Wallaga Lake for example has plenty of small to medium prawns close to the lakes edges whilst many of the bays and open water are well covered by small garfish cruising the surface and large schools of mullet in between.
Bega River has bream around in good numbers and tailor are about as well. Flathead are more prolific and sessions of 10 or more fish are certainly achievable by most . They are smaller in size but you will get enough legal size fish to take home for dinner.
Outside fishing at Bermagui has been very productive over the last few weeks with good catches of snapper up to 4kgs taken at the 4 and 6 mile reefs and sand flathead of good size continue to hold off at Camel Rock in 30-35 m of water.
However the report yesterday was the water at Bermagui was a cold 15 degrees and green and the fishing has died off considerably.
Tathra has good reports as well with flathead in numbers being taken off Nelsons, out straight out the front in 40m of water.
Tathra wharf is still productive with plenty of squid taken as well as your usual bait fish.
Our beaches are producing some healthy bream for those fishing light on the surf while salmon remain a common capture .There are a few nice tailor being landed on spinning gear from the rocks and to those bait fishing off the beach.
Offshore fishing has been dominated by bluefin tuna over June and July with captures up to 130kg being taken and it was not uncommon with some boats having multiple hookups in one outing.
Keep those lines wet Justin Marks of Bega travelled to Fiji in June
and went on his first ever deep sea charter.
