Some nice fish continued to be landed locally, however Saturday’s rain did ruin a good day for fishing, but things look set to return to normal relatively quickly.
Mitchell River: Bream are biting from the river mouth to the Grassy Banks, with trevally around the bridge taking metal lures. Mullet are heading up river taking sandworm and peeled prawn. The odd flathead can be found at The Cut using fresh bluebait.
Tambo River: Nice sized bream are being caught in the river mouth and into the river biting on local prawn.
Nicholson River: Good sized bream are around the mouth and the Car Bodies on live prawn and sandworm, while mullet are also around the river mouth taking sandworm and peeled prawn.
Paynesville/Hollands Landing: McMillan Strait and around the town jetties for bream with prawn and a number four sized hook. There have been sightings of kingfish in the Straits between Raymond Island and Paynesville. Flathead are being caught at the back of Raymond Island, around Newlands Arm and the eastern entrance of Hollands Landing. Try the mouth of Toms Creek for mullet, while whiting are also biting at the back of Raymond Island, best baits being pipis and mussels.
