Moruya River.
If last weekends and this weeks trade has been anything to go by, then optimism is on the increase. As the weather improves, water temps rise, more and more people are starting to break out of last winters hibernation cycle, and are spending more time outside. I have seen plenty of optimistic people this past week, and it is encouraging to see.
River temps are slowly rising, which in turn will lead to an increase in fish activity. The winds we have had the last few days will change direction from that freezing southerly to a westerly then north easterly by Sunday. The will however be a bit on the strong side, so finding a sheltered spot, will be the key.
I would concentrate on the lower reaches of the river, airport flats, hole in the wall quarry wharf areas on a rising tide for the best chance at finding actively feeding fish.
Up in the fresh reaches, there have already been some nice bass caught since the season opened up at the start of the month. I will be heading upstream this weekend at some stage to my favourite holes, and chasing a few myself also. I’ll let you know how I go.

Tuross River.
The back lakes of the Tuross system are on the warm, and as such they are areas that see the biggest spike of flathead activity this time of year. Keep your lure presentations small still,as this will trigger more bites than big offerings early season. Once the water really warms up, you can start throwing big lures for big fish.
The lower reaches of the system from the mouth up towards four-ways, will be the better areas to look this weekend. For mulloway, look at the deeper holes, flathead, look at the edges created where the water changes depth and w**d beds, bream try the flats areas around nipper beds.
With the river levels low with little to no rain having fallen recently, the bass are finding it hard to move up from their post spawn locations. Start looking in the lower reaches where the fresh meets the salt for your chance at finding an early season bass.

Rock and Beach.
Salmon continue to be the stand out species along the coastline this past week, with the winds really being a deciding factor on which beach’s are best explored.
Moruya break wall is always worth a look, you may even see me down there this weekend throwing some big lures for a lurking mulloway 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻.
As the water temps start to climb along the coast, expect the bream and whiting to start appearing in the gutters close to the shore break. Worms or live nippers are a great bait for these locations.

Offshore.
There have been plenty of good snapper numbers reported in and around the 10-15m marks this week, with a mix of flathead and other reef species also making any anglers bags also.
The games end has been quiet this week, but we are hoping for a run of tuna like last year, as the water temps are looking similar to last year, but only time will tell.

We had a big drop of gear from Shimano Australia this week, so the shop is full of all the usual suspects, along with a few new items. There will be more coming from Daiwa next week, as I am yet to top existing stock lines and new items next week, stay tuned!!
The bait freezer was restocked this week also, so we have all your bat needs covered.

Stay safe everyone and remember, “Every day’s a good day for fishing…”

Moruya River.
Trade is starting to reflect the turn in the season, from the winter doldrums to the hope that spring offers. I am starting to see more anglers getting ready for a weekend session, either offshore or within the myriad of estuarine systems that we are blessed with along the coast.
The Moruya river is very slowly starting to wake, with the lower reaches benefitting from the warmer than usual sea temps. Flathead are traditionally the first to wake this time of year, as they move into the relative warmth of the sun baked shallow sand flats looking for the 1-2deg warmer water, of which Moruya has several good ones. The airport flats, Garlandtown and the back of the hole in the wall, are all areas close to the mouth, that get the benefit of that shallow quickly warming water. Small presentation lures, soft plastics in the 2.5” size range or hardbodies in the 50-60mm size range can all represent the type of bait they are looking for. Any of the usual baits will also work, but live nippers or sq**rt worms will prove better than frozen offerings.
Further stream the shallow flats area like the ones under the town bridge and those on the opposite bank from the hospital, that deep cold water nearby will be fish magnets as they quickly warm up.
Reports from the few Bass fishos that have been, are that the fish are there, low in the system ( given low water levels) and in great condition. Spinnerbaits, hardbody lures and soft plastics fished slow will all work. Given the clarity of the water, stealth will be your best course of attack. Keep a low profile, walk or paddle quietly and try be invisible.

Tuross River.
Much like Moruya, Tuross is also starting to wake from it short winter slumber. Tuross does have the advantage however, in the size of the system and the different types of water it has on offer. Tuross has several mud based lakes, that are shallow in nature, and that warm considerably faster the similar sand based flats. Borang and Bumbo, to be specific. These two lakes warm much fast than other shallow areas, as the dark substrate absorbers the suns energy faster than the more reflective, sand flats. This time of year, these areas should be on your radar for flathead, bream, whiting and even mulloway. The holes that these drain into are also worth exploring on a falling tide. 😉
The lower areas of the Tuross system are also starting to wake, with more bream, flathead and whiting starting to show, along with the ever present mullow.
There will be a population of fish that continue to hold in the deeper holes, so don’t overlook these as well.

Rock and Beach.
Salmon, as has been the norm this season, continue to be the main stay of the beach and rock scene. As the water temp continue to climb, expect to see the bream and whiting starting to become more prevalent. Mulloway are a tear round option in the gutters, with lures or live baits accounting for fish throughout the year.

Offshore.
The wind this weekend is going to playa big part in the accessibility offshore this weekend. With stable weather, rain wise on the forecast, 40kph winds that are forecast, could be the deciding factor for an offshore session. But we all know never to totally rely on what the BOM says.

With the 1st September the official start to the Bass season in NSW, there will be some committed anglers chasing an early season bruiser. Traditionally early season is where I tend to come across the bigger bass we all want most. This time of year with water temps still low I prefer to throw spinnerbaits, these can be worked deep and slow deep in cover to tempt fish that maybe aren’t quiet in the mood. Fish in the 45cm+ mark can be regular captures this early in the season.
As they have just finished spawning in the salt, they will tend to be towards the lower sections of the fresh water systems.
Given our lack of rain recently, the rivers they inhabit, are on the low side of flow rates. This can concentrate them in the lower pools. Angler discretion is required when they are targeting them in a small area. Over pressure, and fish removed from small rivers does have repercussions on breeding fish for the future. Think of next years fish!

We have you covered from rods, reels lines and advise if this something you want to try.

Moruya River.
There has been the slightest of changes in the air this week, hints of spring and warmer days ahead have started to creep through waters grip. The shop is still an ice box, but the front verandah is definitively showing signs that spring is coming. The outside temps, compared to the shop are a good 5-10 degs warmer. Bring on spring!
The river however, is still quiet, dispute the air temps starting to warm up. The shallow sand flats are the places to start looking this time of years, as the sun beats down on the shallow areas it heats them up by 0.5 - 1 deg, and can make them a nicer place to hang out than the cooler temps in the deeper holes. You know what it’s like, you never tend to sit further away from the heater in the middle of winter.
While Moruya doesn’t have any of the shallow mud flat area like other systems that hold even more heat this time of year, it does have some good sand flat areas to explore. Back of the hole in wall, the airport flats, Garlandtown flats, opposite the hospital and even under the town bridge are all areas that benefit from longer days and more sunlight.

Tuross River.
Luderick seem to have finally made an appearance in the Tuross system the last week or two, with reports of good numbers of fish being taken coming through the store. For those that like to use w**d baits, finding this almost mythical substance, can be the hardest part of the equation. Luderick fisherman tend to not let the secret location of their string w**d out into the universe, as it can be hard to find at time. Cabbage w**d can be easier to find, as most shallow rock ledges can hold beds of it. A low tide and low swells are required at times to access this w**d.
Tuross hold several muddy based lakes within it system, that will warm up faster than the sand flats will this time of year. Lakes like Borang and Bumbo are shallow mud based lakes that can be a great location to target early season flathead this time of year. These areas will also hold schools of mullet, and as such a good areas to start looking for mulloway also.
With so many options available Tuross can be a hard system to fish, only through the fact that deciding where to go can be the toughest choice. A good problem to have I recon.
The lower reaches of the system are still getting a few smash and grab salmon visits on a rising tide, these are a lot fun to experience on light tackle if you happen to be in the right place at the right time.

Rock and Beach.
Yet again, salmon are the only real constant we have at the moment, as they are all along the coast at present. Look for dark patches in the waves to indicate a school of travelling or stationary fish. Once found get your baits or lures into the mix for some fun.
The drummer should be starting be more active off the stones at the moment also, so get your stale white bread out of the freezer, some hawksbury prawns and get out for a pot holing session off your local ledge.

Offshore.
There are still good numbers of snapper and flathead coming from the shallow reefs this week, start in around the 10-15m mark for the snapper and start to work your way deeper until you find them, and there will be flathead over the sand in between drifts also.
There are still numbers of YFT and BFT for those game crews willing to head out further also. The real question will be, will we see the numbers of fish this summer that we experienced last year, fingers crossed we do, as our whole economy on the coast is based around visitors justifying the spend on fuel to come down and visit us. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

The bait freezer was restocked this week, so we are in good shape for the weekend with all of your favourite baits.
There are a few holes being made on the lure walls to accomodate some of the new seasons offerings that were made available at the trade show last week. Stay tuned to both our Facebook and Instagram page for updates.

Stay safe everybody and remember, “Every day’s a good day for fishing…”
