Dam
We haven’t heard much about fishing at the dam the past week because the good weather window has had people heading offshore instead.
If the dam is where you’ll be this weekend, the topwater shallows should be the go. Frogs, unweighted soft plastics and small hard body surface lures are all great options to use.
Estuary
The crabs have been firing in the river. Plenty of people have caught lots, especially up the river towards the mussel beds.
The water temperature is dropping so barramundi will become harder to find. Many are still being caught at the moment though! Our store Manager, Jason, has landed a stack of them and if you’re ever after help on where to go and what to use, he’s your guy.
Islands & Offshore
The fishing offshore has been incredible over the past week, with a huge variety of species being caught - nannygais, red emperors, trout…just to name a few.
Mackerel are on now too and we’ve had multiple reports of great numbers being caught, with many being a decent size.
The billfish must also be moving in, as we’ve had a few people coming in wanting gear.
We wish you all a fun and safe long weekend. Whatever you do, make the most of the beautiful weather and make time to go fishing.
Best of luck out there!
