LAKE TYERS: Nikki Bryant had a lovely morning on the water recently, amazed in the change in the system since it opened. The place alive with flathead everywhere and she even found a nice bream. (PS)

LAKE TYERS: Nikki Bryant had a lovely morning on the water recently, amazed in the change in the system since it opened. The place alive with flathead everywhere and she even found a nice bream. (PS)

Fishing in the local area continues to impress, locals and visitors rarely going home empty handed or without a story.

Lakes Entrance: Bream are still plentiful, biting on fresh baits, while for flathead give hardbody lures, fresh prawn and soft plastics a try. Prawns are still in the lakes but are declining in numbers. King George whiting are in Reeves Channel also taking fresh prawn. Offshore for snapper, gummy and mako shark.

Lake Tyers: For something different, try eel fishing, using rod and reel or hand line, early morning or after dark are the best times with pipis as bait. The entrance is still open.

Metung: Kingfish are around the jetties. The boardwalk has salmon, trevally, pinkies and bream.

OFFSHORE: Youngster Bailey Harris set a pending Australian and Victorian junior angler record last Sunday, landing this mammoth 139.9 kilogram swordfish after a three and half hour wrestle. (PS)
OFFSHORE: Samara Peel with her 150 kilogram swordfish that she caught over the weekend. (PS)
