Moruya River
There have been great reports through the shop of salmon, tailor
and bream being caught down the front of the river around the weed
beds. For these fish, if you're fishing with soft plastics,
Nuclear Chicken in the Gulp range is your best bet. If soft
plastics aren't your thing, the Knight Spinners metal slices for
the salmon and tailor are proving very successful with the SX40's
your obvious choice for the bream.
The back of the river is also been working extremely well with
nice bass around the 45cm mark and some good bream being caught off
the snags on SX40's.

Before jet-setting off the annual AFTA fishing trade show on the
goldcoast, Team Gone Fishin' member Graham went fishing earlier
this week and had a very rewarding session on the bream around the
sticks on diving minnows.
Following that success, Graham hit the deep water using Bushy
Vibes and had the pleasure of catching and releasing prolific
numbers of nice sized tailor.
Rocks and Beaches
Large numbers of salmon and tailor are being caught on the
beaches this week. The majority of the fish are being caught
on metal slices around 20-40 grams - for the best results use a
slow retrieve.
Bait fishermen will be happy to hear pilchards and anchovies are
still working wonders with the salmon and tailor also. The
seas have been flat lately, so remember to get up early or fish
late in the afternoon in a deeper gutter to reap the rewards.
This worked wonders for many of the visitors to the store,
however we have had numerous reports of individuals picking up
empty pilchard bags by the dozens - be considerate fishers and
please take your rubbish home as no-one likes a dirty beach.
Offshore
Captain Ron on board Winda Woppa reports in with some
great sessions this week, snapper, mowies, pigfish and nannagai are
all on the chew at the moment. School sharks are still being
caught but watch your size limits as some of them have been
disappointingly small.
Ron's depth of choice this week has been around the 60-70m mark
and he recommends kellicking up on the reef and burleying with
cubed pilchards, with soft plastics or pilchards as bait.
Happy Fishing, news from AFTA will be in next week
