Coming into Winter has always been our favourite time of year. As the weather cools, it feels as if the fishing only gets better. The estuaries have a plethora of action, with Mulloway, Flathead, Bream and Trevally all feeding on large schools of whitebait and prawns. Pelagics show up along the coast and inside harbours, Snapper start moving into the shallow reefs and headlands. East Coast anglers are simply spoiled with choice. One thing we often recommend is taking the time to observe the type and size of bait in your local system, taking note of how they behave and where they show up so you know you’re matching the hatch on each opportunity to get out with rod in hand. The bait changes quickly during the transition into Winter and matching your lure size/ profile to what is abundant will often pay dividends.
We’re in the midst of a restock and itching to get out there over the coming weeks. There is a small amount of different lures / jig heads still available on the store, many pertect for the colder months where a subtle and slower action can entice the bite. Our next restock will be Late May so if you’re thinking about it, jump in while you can.
