Plenty of anglers took the opportunity to hit the waters around Lakes Entrance on the long weekend, with varied degrees of success.
Lakes Entrance: Flathead are actively biting in the lakes, particularly in the shallow waters during the outgoing tide. Surf beaches have salmon taking metal slugs. For those venturing offshore, decent-sized gummy shark and snapper are being caught.
Lake Tyers: Bream are abundant throughout the lake system, offering plenty of opportunities for anglers. However, it’s worth noting that the entrance remains closed as of the date of this report.
Metung: Off the jetty near the hotel and along the boardwalk, for bream using pipis and local prawn. Dusky flathead are around the structures in Lake King, biting on plastics. King George whiting can also be found in the area.
