The warm weather as of late has really turned the surface bite on. Bassday Sugapens have been working extremely well up on the flats and mangrove edges on a high tide. Bream, whiting and flathead have all been caught off the top this week.
Nippers are working great for whiting up past the hospital, with reports of good numbers of fish being caught on live nippers.
Ryan's Creek entrance is still fishing well for flathead using blue bait on small gang hooks, and Squidgy bio fish in bloodworm has also worked well.
Tuross River
With the boat traffic decreasing, mulloway are being caught in the channel near the boatshed. Live baits are working best, but a few have also been caught using Lund’s Californian squid.
The flats at the front of the system have been fishing very well for good numbers of large whiting. Fresh worms and nippers have been working a treat. For the lure fishermen, Sugapens and Jackson pygmy poppers are also working equally well.
Bream and Perch are being pulled from snags up around the highway bridge using Jackson athletes and soft plastics like Gulp nemesis. Baits like prawns and tuna fillets are also getting the job done.
Rocks and beaches
Kingfish have been on the bite around a lot of the headlands this week. Bingie has been a hot spot where stick-baits and large poppers have had several anglers hooked up.
Squid are coming in off the rocks around Broulee, South Heads and Bingie - Yamashita jigs are working well.
Salmon are being caught around Pedro Point using gang hooks and full pillies for bait. Arma metals are also working.
Bream and whiting are coming in from the same area using small longshank hooks and beach worms for bait.
Offshore
Two-Mile reef just off the front of Moruya has seen some great catches this week including mowies, snapper and pigfish. Squid and pillies have been the bait of choice. Soft plastics like 6.5-inch Gulp nemesis have also produced the goods.
As always, the Windsock Beach flathead grounds are producing good fish in roughly the 30-metre mark. Instinct performance rigs with a mix of pillies and squid should get you hooked up to a few.
