The weather is beginning to warm up, and recent fishing competitions continue to show that the big fish are out there, if you’re patient and skilled.
Lakes Entrance – Fishing around Lakes is a bit quiet at the moment. For flathead give Eastern Beach a go, salmon on the smaller side are coming into the entrance on the run in tide, chasing lures.
Lake Tyers – Bream, trevally, mullet and perch are in the lake system biting on metal vibes and lures.
Mitchell River – As water levels have dropped, give the river mouth a try for bream or flathead with live sandworm. The Old Butterfactory is also producing some nice sized bream.
Tambo River – From the Rough Road to the river mouth for bream casting out with cut crab, one arm bandits and sandworm.
Nicholson – Bream are biting from the Car Bodies down to the river mouth using one arm bandits, live sandworm and hard-shell crab. Good catches are also being reported around the jetties as well.
Metung – Along the Boardwalk and around the town’s structures are proving to be the best choice for bream, using peeled prawn, mussel and live sandworm.
Paynesville/Holland’s Landing – Salmon are still running along the 90 Mile Beach at Loch Sport, chasing pilchards. From a boat or off the jetties, bream are biting well on prawn and live sandworm. Give the
mouth of Tom’s Creek and Springberg Lane/Perry Bridge a look.
Marlo – The Vic Bream Classic was a huge success, with more than 100 anglers hitting the water, catching and releasing some nice sized bream. Salmon are in the channel, biting on lures and pilchards. For bream give ultralight gear and lightly weighted soft plastics a go.
Bemm River – Anglers are having great results landing salmon using metal lures.
High Country -The salmon and trout season officially reopens on Saturday. Please continue to check the weather forecast before heading out, as conditions can change without warning. Large Brown trout (40 centimetre) chasing trolling Tassie Devils have been recorded in Lake Dartmouth.
