The river is fishing well this week, with most anglers getting good results early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
Most fishers are getting a mixed bag, with tailor, salmon, and bream the stand outs. Whiting and flathead are also around, but not in big numbers.
The front of the system is the place to fish this week, with large schools of tailor and salmon chasing the bait fish into the entrance of the river.
If you're more interested in flathead, head upstream and fish the drop offs on a run-out tide. The flathead should be waiting for an opportunity to pounce on a bait fish, and you may be lucky enough to get an estuary perch or bream as well.
Tuross River
Tuross has had fantastic results again this week due to the schools of tailor and salmon pushing the bait into the system.
Most anglers have found a variety of fish around the front of the system, including bream, whiting, salmon, tailor, flathead, and jewfish.
There's likely to be a lot of traffic on the water this weekend, so try to find a quiet spot to get maximum reward.
Salted pilchard and sand worms have both been working a treat as bait in the system.
Beaches/Rocks
Tailor are everywhere at the moment, and there has been some quality fish landed at the beaches from Broulee to Tuross Head.
Metal lures are the key when chasing these fish, and you may pick up a bonus salmon during your fish.
The break wall in Moruya has been a hot spot for both tailor and salmon in recent weeks, and there's also talk of the odd king fish being landed.
Sharks have been active at night off the break wall, with one 10-foot bronze whaler being caught.
Muller are still patrolling the beaches, but they're proving to be an elusive catch. Try using a small worm bait under the schools of mullet to catch nice-sized bream.
Tuross, Bingie, Congo, and Moruya have all seen large squid, so now is the time to stock up on these tasty fellas.
The divers have been cleaning up on bream, drummer, salmon, tailor, lobster, and abalone around the local headlands, but please remember your bag limits and Marine Park regulations.
Reef fishing
Pedro's Point and the surf club are both fishing well for snapper, morwong, gummys, bronzes, and kingfish.
The fishers getting the results this week were using squid and pilchards. The trick was to cut strips of squid, and put on strip per hook on a flasher rig.
The depth of water wasn't consistent this week, with good catches reported anywhere from nine metres to 70 metres.
Wind Sock Beach has been the place for flathead this week, with most fishers bagging out in less than an hour.
Squid are numerous near South Head, Congo Beach, Bingie Beach, and Tuross Beach, so get out and grab yourselves a good feed for Easter Sunday.
