Tony Zann’s weekend fishing report
New South Wales Fishing Monthly editor Tony Zann reports on the local fishing scene (Tony’s a happy man — he landed a 4.77kg tailor off Evans Head beach this week) …
Bruce at Dave’s Bait Shop says a few bream are starting to move into the river but there are still good whiting and flathead from North Creek right up to Woodburn. Blackfish coming through in dribs and drabs but steadily improving and weed supplies are available.
Tailor on the beaches are the movers and shakers with Shelly Beach, Sharps, pontoon rocks and Flat Rock. Whiting and bream also going quite well.
Snapper and pearlies on the 48-fathom reefs. Mackerel are fairly patchy but a few around at times if you¹’re lucky.
