For those that tried for flathead outside, fishing was hard with mostly small undersized sand and tiger flathead.
Only the odd legal fish was caught in depths over 45 meters.
Some found fish on the reefs, finding it hard, but better than on the sand.
The odd snapper and morwong, not big, but there were fish caught.
The snapper were caught float baiting, using fresh salmon strips as bait and the morwong were caught paternoster fishing using squid for bait.
There are a few barracouta and mackerel being caught around the reefs currently. They are both great baits for the reefs coincidentally.
The beach fishing will hopefully improve over the coming weeks.
After all the south westerly winds and large seas, there are now some great gutters newly formed.
Hopefully, we might see a few more salmon and tailor being caught on our beaches over the winter months.
The lake fishing is still pretty hot with plenty of salmon being caught off Mitchies Beach and Spencer Park at Merimbula.
Hopefully, we might see a few more salmon and tailor being caught on our beaches over the winter months.
Up the top lake, the salmon have been found too, with the odd tailor and trevally being caught trolling and spinning on the rising tide.
Just watch out for the birds working bait and the fish won't be far away.
The Bega River at Moggareeka, off the rocks, have had two mulloway caught around the full moon. There is a chance in all other estuaries.
The game fishing for bluefin hasn't started yet for us. Commercial boats had a try out the front of Bermagui to Eden on Thursday night for minimal fish and now they are all heading down south of Green Cape out about 40 nautical miles off shore.
