With reports of good weather and fine yellowfin and broadbill being taken offshore, the tournament certainly looks to be on track for a very successful weekend.

  Briefing and final entries will be at the clubhouse on Thursday evening, May 5, commencing at 6.30pm. 

The club is posting a $6000 cash first prize for the heaviest yellowfin tuna “line class” caught over the duration of the tournament. 

Thanks to its great sponsors there will also be 16 other category prizes up for grabs.

Dusky flathead, trevally, tailor and flounder are available in our estuaries as well as good size bream, particularly near oyster beds. 

Remember large bream are very old and are our breeders so please practise catch and release.

  All estuary fish respond well to soft plastics and also live nippers. Baitfish metal lures are also bringing good results.

  Luderwick are still shoaling off the Merimbula Fishing Platform, mornings and evenings, and respond to cabbage weed as well as plastic lures. 

Good squid are about, as well as lots of bait fish.

Ocean flathead remain on the chew, try 20 fathoms off Merimbula and northwards all the way to Tathra.

 Good snapper and morwong are best sought off reef edges.

  Snapper are coming onto the bight as the waters cool.  Best time is near dawn or dusk at a tide change. 

Try from an anchored vessel with burley or use soft plastics, especially if you can locate a bait ball.

The club maintains an Open House at Spencer Park, every Friday  from 6.30 pm.
