Fishing has still been a bit slow over the past week but some encouraging reports are starting to happen as the local waters start to warm. One boat had a good day at sea and reported over 20 flathead caught and some of the boats fishing the reefs have found the odd snapper and morwong with plenty of leatherjackets on the chew.
Salmon and tailor have been the stand out fish and have been caught on the beaches, estuaries and headlands. The local wharfs and rocks are producing steady catches of calamari and arrow squid for fishermen fishing early mornings and late arvos.
Some anglers tried prawning in Merimbula Lake finding huge numbers but unfortunately all were miniscule in size. Lets hope they reach a decent size over the next couple of months.
As of this weekend the club will be holding a 4.00pm Sunday afternoon seafood raffle at the Merimbula Bowling Club. 15 trays of prawns, oysters and crabs will be on offer. This Friday Michael Hampson and Darragh Reynolds will open the Spencer Park clubrooms for members and the public 6.30 pm. A beer and seafood raffle will be held prior to the local fishing report so grab a friend and head down for a fun night.
May your reel scream, Mex.
