NSW Fishing Monthly editor Tony Zann reports on where they’re biting around Ballina and Lennox Head …
Bruce Legge at Dave’s Bait Shop says the whiting are still going well up to Pimlico Island on live bloodworms, with a few good flatties to 5kg coming from North Creek up to Pimlico.
A few school jew are poking around along the Town Reach and just above the ferry — at long last.
Whispers of a few blackfish getting caught but you’ll have to use cabbage because weed is scarce as yet.
Dart and whiting have been prominent along the beaches with a few sea-run bream starting to get going as well.
Plenty of good tailor from the top of Seven Mile Beach with a few around the walls and headlands as well. Obey the

Outside, the mackerel are still very scarce with just the odd one but when there was current on the 32s and unfishable the 48 was good for pearlies, snapper and the like.
