Monday 24th October 2011

The river has cleaned up nicely after the environmental flows down the Snowy, and the fishing has been great.

Good numbers of Bream and Perch are being taken from the Snowy Estuary and the Snowy River, using both bait and lures.

Good numbers of flathead and the odd gummy and 7 gill shark have been taken from offshore.

The water temperature is around 14 deg at present and things are warming up.

Plenty of Salmon still around off the beaches and the Snowy Entrance.

Taylor are still fishing in good numbers.

Good numbers of Bream, Trevally and the occassional estuary Perch have ben caught between the entrance and the Marlo Jetty, using vibes, plastics and hard body lures.

Plenty of Tailor (skipjacks) have beeen caught around the bottom of the first island and back to the entrance.

Marlo has experienced large amounts of freshwater of late, which has slowed the fishing a little.

However, there is still good fishing to be had if you want to work for them.

Reports of some good size Bream have been caught at Frenches Narrows and Lake Corringle.

Still catching Salmon around Marlo on the surf beaches, however they have slowed somewhat.
