sports Moruya River. The river has been a liAle quiet this week, with the colder water temperatures slowing the fishing down. There have s(ll been some winter tailor towards the front of the systems around Preddy’s wharf to keep things interes(ng, with the occasional salmon throw into the mix as well. The flathead and bream have definitely gone quiet, and as such require a bit more finesse to temp a bite. Go lighter with your rigs, and fish deeper and slower. There have been reports of good schools of mullet up past Mogendoura creek that have tempted one of the seals that frequent our system well up stream. He or she has taken residence up there on the banks of the river. If the mullet are up there in numbers, there may be a chance of a mulloway or two si7ng under neath the schools. Tuross River. The lower sec(ons of Tuross have been providing a bit of ac(on in the way of tailor and salmon this past week. Under those schools of tailor, there is the chance of finding a few nice flathead or even a mulloway feeding off of both the bait, and the scraps that fall to the river boAom. In around 4 ways, there are s(ll numbers of flathead to be found, with slowly worked soU plas(cs working nicely. Areas up around Bumbo creek, should be holding schools of estuary perch this (me of year as well. Rock and Beach. The local beaches and Moruya breakwall have been the hot spots this past week, with chunky fat salmon to 4kg a regular catch. Mixed in with the salmon have been some good tailor and trevally as well. While down around Congo rocks there have been some extra large bream taken. Beach worms have been the key to ge7ng a few nice bream from the suds this week, while the salmon and tailor have been hi7ng metals and ganged pilchards. Offshore. Reports that the new ar(ficial reef off Moruya is star(ng to stack up with good schools of yellowtail scad. These have in turn been, on the menu of a few nice winter kings. So if you are looking at stocking up on bait before heading out to chase snapper, flathead, gummies or even kings, give the reef a call. On a side note, we are now super well stocked on bait jigs in various sizes and colours, so come in and check out our expanded range. Out wide the game crews con(nue to boat a few nice yellowfin tuna. Look for the bait along temperature breaks for you best chances. Stay safe everyone and remember, “every days a good day for fishing…” Team Tackle World Moruya.
