Be
aware that
a toxic algae bloom has formed
on the east coast of tasmania
and many fisheries are closed
- for more info check the

The Scamander River has really
started to fire now especially
in the lower reaches with
some great fish being caught,
and what appears to be a slightly
better run of bigger fish
then in previous years, some
anglers reporting at least
1 or 2 40cm+ fish, almost
4lb in the old scale, per
session. For the lure fisherman
the Lucky Craft Pointer 65,
the Bushy’s Stiffy Minnow
and the Shimano Lure Project
series have been the standout
models, plastics such as 100mm
Squidgy Wriggler in Wasabi
and Bloodworm and for the
bait fisherman the Prawns,
Pippies, Mussels and Crabs
are the standard diet needed.
Also the Dynabait Freeze Dried
Worms have proven to be a
handy bait to just have in
your bag or box, with an unlimited
shelf life they can stay packaged
until you are ready to use
them.
Offshore fishing has seen
good bags of Flathead being
taken off Elephant Rock in
around 60-65 metres of water
and mostly taken on Neptune
Arrow jigs in Lumo and Pink/White
by drifting over the sand
banks
where the Flathead lay in
wait to ambush its prey.
The Break O Day FlyFishing
Club will be holding a Fishing
Movie night in St Helens during
the latter half of October,
this will be 3 hours of fantastic
Fishing action including Fresh
Water, Trout, Flyfishing,
Salt Water, Estuary and Game
Fishing as well as some unusual
footage from around the world.
There will be supper provided
and a bar so keep your eyes
posted here for dates and
times.
For any more advice on where
to go and what to catch just
drop in and see me, Jamie,
at St Helens Bait & Tackle…….Tight
Lines.
