FISHING REPORT

The highly variable weather patterns have tested the skills and persistence of anglers but the fishing has been okay, especially for beach and rock anglers. 

 

Bass Point, Kiama and Windang Island have been the pick of the rock spots. Trevally have been plentiful in the slightly deeper water. Some big salmon have been patrolling the headlands. Bream, rock blackfish and luderick are filling most angler's bags. The flat seas have enabled those chasing groper to make the best of it.

  

Beach fishing has also been very rewarding with big salmon, tailor and bream the main captures. Windang, Warilla and Shellharbour South beaches are fishing well.

  

Luderick and bream are the dominant species being caught in the estuaries. Lake Illawarra and Minnamurra have plenty of luderick but the size varies considerably. An early run of flathead may be on the cards if the recent catches are any indication.

 

Offshore fishers have been doing well on flathead and good sized morwong. The bonito around Bass Point have kept things interesting.

 

Kingfish at the Banks have satisfied the gamefishers who have been frustrated looking for yellowfin tuna. Plenty of kings to 12kg have been keen to take jigs or baits.
