Some great catches are being reported in both the rivers and the lakes system with the rewards there for the anglers that cast a line.
Mitchell River: Levels in the rivers have dropped after the substantial rainfall in the East Gippsland area. Try the rivermouth for flathead using blue bait and soft plastics. Plenty of cars on the Bairnsdale-Paynesville Road usually means the fish are keen to get on the hook.
Tambo River: From Clues Bluff, Marshalls Flat and down to The Snags try using fresh mussels and sandworm for bait.
Nicholson River: Try Pear Tree, the Swimming Hole and into Jones Bay for flathead and bream. Best bait is prawn, though there are some mullet to be had on other options.
Metung: Boxes Creek, Chinamans Creek, Marina, Rock Wall, Town Jetties and Shaving Point are all active spots.
Paynesville/Hollands Landing: Bream are biting around the town jetties, with crab, lures, and mussels to get the best results. For a change, try near the banks with prawns.
