Squid city central

Andrew Ketelaar and 7.5kg of winter snapper.

We are well into winter and, boy, the calamari have decided that this is their time to shine. The amount of squid reports over the last month has been nothing short of insane! They really provide a legitimate target when everything else winds down for the cooler months.

Find the schooling fish, find the bites
Steven Pryke | July 2017

Local bream have started their usual winter patterns.

The winter blues have begun to settle in with frequent days of horrid weather. Fishing has still been reasonably productive with large schools of silver trevally haunting the tidal channel in search of white bait and other food sources. The jetties and deep channels are holding schooling bream, but locating them has been hard. Use a quality depth sounder to help locate the schools.

Fishing sessions are short and sweet
Lee Rayner | July 2017

Now is a great time to get into some calamari.

Over the coming weeks it really becomes a matter of getting onto the fish when the weather allows you to get on the water.

Jarrod Potter with a quality Glenelg bass.

The lakes are cold and the big reds are on the chew. Trout are smelting, thus giving away their location and making your lure or fly selection that bit easier.

Offshore crazy kingfish captures
Jim Mcclymont | July 2017

Pauline Connelly with her 9kg+ monster kingy.

Our estuary system rebounded and is fishing well again. Plenty of bream are being taken along the Snowy River all the way up to the highway bridge at Orbost, making the fishing platforms that have been erected prime fishing spots along both sides of the river all the way down to the Marlo Road causeway turn-off.
