LOCH SPORT: Ant Stewart was delighted to land two gummies over the weekend on the cast. (PS)

There are some great catches currently being landed by locals and visitors to the region.

Mitchell River: The odd trevally can be

found around the Butter Factory, biting on fresh sandworm.

Tambo River: Around the river mouth is producing great results.

Nicholson: Try around the Highway bridge, boat ramp and the mouth of the river.

Metung – Flathead, bream, trevally and salmon can be found around the structures and town jetties taking plastics and lures.

Paynesville/Hollands Landing: Salmon and flathead are being landed over the surf beach near Loch Sport. Gummies are also about.

High Country: Early morning and late afternoon are when trout are most active and is the perfect time for fly fishing. Upcoming warmer weather and active insect hatches make dry flies irresistible to trout. Those

who prefer to throw minnow shaped lures, small spinners or soft plastics will also find great results.

Lakes Entrance: Bream are in abundance around Lakes, mixing up your baits – sandworm, prawns and even chicken can all produce solid results. Offshore, flathead, whiting, kingfish and gummy shark are being caught. There is still some weed about but is is slowly clearing with time.

Lake Tyers: Good sized flathead, bream and estuary perch are being taken out of the system at the moment. Lake Tyers may also be one of the places for targeting prawns when they start running in the warmer months ahead.

Metung: Flathead, bream, trevally and salmon can be found around the structures and town jetties taking plastics and lures.

TAMBO RIVER: Marty caught a mulloway last week on a bream rig. The outstanding looking fish weighed in at 9.4 kilograms. (PS)
LAKE TYERS: Steven Stagg caught this magnificent 47 centimetre specimen over the weekend – a huge catch for any angler. (PS)
LAKE TYERS: Rod Cooper was delighted to land this nice flathead on a weekend fishing trip. (PS)
