Lakes Entrance
Whiting can be found at the Footbridge and Floating Pontoon, on the usual baits, give Kalimna Jetty a try as well. Surf beaches for salmon and trevally, offshore for good snapper, pinkies, morwong and leatherjacket. Water temp is 14.8⁰. With more bad weather coming this weekend please take care,
Lake Tyers
Main lake for flathead around the shallow sand banks, using prawn and plastics. Bream can be found in the main lake and up into Nowa Nowa Arm, and there are good sized salmon around in the back of the sand dunes.
Mitchell River
The river is dirty as a result of the recent rains but try Two Bells down to the river mouth for bream on local prawn and soft shell. The odd tailor is still about chasing silver lures, there may be some mullet around as well.
Tambo River
Best spots for bream at the moment is in Swan Bay, The Snag’s and Butcher’s Creek, biting on soft shell, sandworm and local prawn.
Nicholson
From the Two Bridges, the Swimming Hole down to Thumb Point and the river mouth for bream, preferred baits being prawn, sandworm and shrimp
Metung
Water levels are up this week and fishing has been a bit quiet, so far, the best spots are the town jetties and Chinaman’s Creek.
Paynesville
Town jetties and structures are the spots to land bream and the odd whiting with mussels and pipis.
Holland's Landing
The Strait is possibly the best area for bream, as fresh water is impacting the system, try also Jones Bay, Tom’s Creek and Blonde Bay, using soft shell, spider crab and prawn.
Marlo
With all the recent rains the rivers and lake system are running high with a lot of dirty water coming down from the Snowy, as a result there is no fishing report this week.
Bemm River
Bream and salmon are in the lake and channel chasing local prawn. Surf beach for salmon taking blue bait and poppers.
Tamboon Inlet
In the channel and down to Peter’s Rock for bream biting on local prawn and soft shell.
Mallacoota
Bream and flathead can be found in the top lake on local prawn and softshell. Salmon and tailor are also about.
Omeo High Country
All the rivers are good for trout with sizes varying from 35 to 40cms, preferred baits being floating or drifting worm.
