The Continental counter is at its closest point to Mainland Australia, being only 13 miles off the coast at Bermagui. The counter, also as the related underwater systems like the 12 mile reef, attract pelagic fish nearly all year round. Autumn and early winter bring schools of Yellowfin Tuna to the area. Spring sees the arrival of the southern Bluefin Tuna, Albacore and, as the weather warms up we see the arrival of the mighty Striped Marlin. Some of the biggest Striped Marlin you’ll ever see follow the warm currents to this region. Other billfish, like the Black Marlin and the big Blue Marlin also recurrent the waters off Bermagui.

Go closer be able to really feel the fish bite. Top Cat is excellent; well its nearly impossible to get hold of them but they run a good ship with good quality gear. Bluefin is good also, however I am not sure if they’re running fishing charters now. Top Cat is some a smaller ship than Bluefin, which is better because you don’t have 15 people all tangling their lines up. (the-riotact.com)

Reports of native fish in the ACT area are few and far between, however those anglers that have braved the freezing conditions are rewarded with the odd fish or two. Now of year there’s no point obsessing about fishing around dawn and sunset, as the fish may come on the bite at any time of the day. Murray Cod will continue to feed in the winter months caused by their metabolism, which doesn t shut down as considerably as some species do in these conditions. They’ll still be more inactive in comparison to the warmer month which means they won t travel too far from their favourite snags for a feed, so work a gradually retrieved spinner bait or diving hard body in tight against submerged timber or a rock wall past where they’ll be hiding.

I 1st started fishing with lures in the estuaries in 1982. By 1984 I was aiming at Bream, exactly, with lures. After many years of learning the tricks and plans involved, I realized what an thrilling sport it was. This resulted in me setting up Wilderness Fishing Tours , a business which was the 1st of its type to rely on catching fish in estuaries of the South Coast from Batemans Bay to Mallacoota, Exclusively on lures, with Bream as the major target.

Bluewater Tackle World manager Cam Trowbridge was treated to some exceptional fishing at Shark Bay recently by the accommodating staff and crew at Mac Attack Fishing Charters. Cam and his mates spent some days up to their armpits in many varieties of species on tempt and fly. As indicated by Cam, everything they touched turned to Gold as the skipper held his word place after place putting them on the money every time. Among the highlights were mackerel on fly and stickbaits and mulloway in 5-10m of water. While only small the mulloway were in plague proportions. Previous to their arrival fish up to 36kg were landed! many other species were landed throughout their time on the water as well as blue bone and rankin cod. (getfishing.com.au)

ON BROADBILL we too have been catching some great snapper at “The Hump” off Stanwell Park. We really have been doing well with catches of big morwong, giant leather jackets, pig fish and last, however not least my favourite eating fish snapper. Some snapper have been up to 6kg, but we don’t keep them as they’re the breed stock and they’re tough as old boots to eat, better let go to enhance the stocks. (gamefishingcharters.com.au)

The estuary is still fishing well now off the year. Everybody looks to be to get good flathead and some crackers also over that 80cm mark. Bream are playing the game and the illusive mulloway that don’t seem so illusive when you got fishing legends like Layton Brant, Joel Taylor, Jem Abbot, Daniel Dowley and Coen Davis on their tails. These guys are starting to put in Wade Eaton hours and are coming up with some thumpers. Layton has the lead so far with a 28 kilo beast. But the other boys have caught some crackers now also. Good to see our Clyde becoming the Mulloway capital. Good seeing lots of these fish being tagged and released for research and future growth in numbers. (fishingaustralia.tv)
