It’s been great to hear the fish are still eager to play the game, providing entertainment for anglers of all ages over the King’s Birthday long weekend.

Mitchell River: Bream are active throughout the system, with the mouth of the river producing the best results. Soft plastics and local prawn are the go to baits.

Tambo River: The power lines are the hotspot for bream, with the river mouth and the Snags also producing occasional catches. Soft plastics are working well in the clearer water.

Nicholson: Bream are biting around the river mouth and under the bridge, particularly during the incoming tide. Pipis and peeled prawns are delivering consistent results.

Metung: Bream and trevally are active around the jetties on prawns and mussels. Flathead and pinkies are also about, taking shrimp, prawn and hard-bodied lures. The sea wall is fishing well on a rising tide.

Paynesville/Hollands Landing: Bream are active around the jetties and canals, taking sandworm, prawn, and live shrimp. Flathead are favouring soft plastics, while luderick are showing in deeper channels during the tides.

GIPPSLAND LAKES: Brandon Scott was pleased with ripper he landed in the system recently. (PS)
RIVER SYSTEM: Blair Bryant was all smiles after landing this ripper. (PS)
RIVER SYSTEM: Nikki Bryant loves catching a big fish, and was to the fore again over the long weekend. (PS)
