Lakes Entrance
Flathead are starting to come on the bite with more consistent catches showing up across the system. In the rivers, Bream are
responding well to sandworms and fresh local prawn. Trevally and Snapper have been sighted in the lakes, offering some welcome action.
Crabbing is still best around Bullock Island, though it’s not a favoured spot for fishing. The rougher water and busy atmosphere tend to push local
anglers toward quieter areas.
Lake Tyers
Perch and flathead are up around Toorloo Arm. Water condition are nice and clear, with temperatures slowly increasing. Bream, mullet and trevally are biting on hurricane lures and vibes.
Mitchell River
Perch have been active around The Cut and the highway bridge with live prawn doing the trick. Some thumping Bream have been found near Shadoof Lodge on live sandworm and prawn. Down toward the mouth, the odd Flathead is turning up on fresh blue bait.
Tambo River
Best spot for bream is down towards the river mouth and on soft shell and local prawn.
Nicholson
Between the river mouth and the two bridges bream are in abundance. For best results use spider crab, cut crab and local prawn
Metung
Black bream are most active around jetties, boardwalks, and marinas, and respond well to prawns, pipis, sandworms, or shrimp. Dusky flathead tend to inhabit lake structures and shallow sandy or rocky patches, where soft plastics, small lures, or shrimp and prawns are effective. Trevally and pinkies are often caught near jetties and seawalls, and can be targeted using prawns, mussels, or light lures. Whiting and other small estuary fish are commonly found on inshore flats and sandy areas, with pipis, mussels, or small shellfish baits working best.
