Fishing along our great coastline is getting better by the day with several good reports coming in this week.
 
Fishing off Montague Island  has many locals and visitors  focusing on the kingies.,which have remained  consistent in recent weeks with
patches of fish to 8kg and some reports coming in suggest fish to 15kg have been captured.
 
Fishing at Bermagui has been solid for weeks with snapper, flathead , morwong , kingies, sharks  all on the bite.
 
Tathra is another area that keeps on producing good quality fish with snapper morwong . flathead, sharks, all on the bite.

Tathra Wharf has plenty of nice calamari hanging around and in the bay this will bring the kingies closer in.

Eden is still producing good snapper, and flathead and the kingies are still on at Mowarry Point and Green Cape with reports of some monsters
being captured.

Merimbula is firing well with snapper, morwong off Haycock and good size tiger flathead off Bournda.

The past week fishing was a non event with the great rain we have had and with the rivers getting a great flush out which they badly needed.

The Bega River , Wallaga Lake, Cuttagee, have all been opened by the recent rain we have had the council had to open up the mouth of the rivers.

Now for the fishing part of all this with the rivers now flowing you will find the fishing will increase, by the amount of food being stirred up by the recent rain .and the fish following the food.

Bega River fish down towards the bridge and surrounding areas for flathead , and bream and i wouldn't be surprised if you came across a jewfish.

Wallaga Lake the big flathead will be about as well as the big tailor up to 3kg to 5 kg use 5" soft plastics or metal spinner baits.

Kiah River is fishing great at the moment and the wash out will only improve the quality of the fish.

When fishing outside just be alert of floating debris been wash out of the rivers especially around the mouth openings.

Offshore fishing no reports this week.

Next week i will have some photo's as well as the up to date fishing report .

Till next week

Keep those lines wet

Outside fishing on all our headlands, off our rock ledges , off the wharfs have seen a abundance of fish about, with bonito being the primary target.

Bonito Salmon and Kingfish are about in numbers with kingies over the 10kg mark being taken. The word is off Haycock the kingies are in abundance with 10kg plus being captured. Around our reefs the mowies are on the bite and snapper have quieten off a bit. Flathead are on the bite with numbers being taken off Tathra , Bermagui, Eden.

Tathra Wharf if you can find a vacant spot are producing bonito, mack tuna, slimey mackerel,squid. all in numbers.

Offshore fishing has Marlin active from 40fathoms with plenty of stripey tuna and small yellowfin about. Beach fishing around our local beaches still has the salmon keen to take a bait or lure also whiting are still active as well.

Estuary fishing has slowed up with the water still dirty ,but starting to clear somewhat. Bermagui River ,Wapengo and Wallaga Lake have had good catches of bream, flathead,and whiting of late. Bega River has bream, whiting , on the bite with the flathead gone quiet at present.

Wallaga Lake is still producing some big tailor, and snapper which are taking bait or lures ,it is your choice. The Estuaries, and Rivers should clear up soon and the fishing will be fantastic.

Till next week
