Narooma Sport and Gamefishing club members Ken Ribbons and John Cathor last week fished out of Narooma on Ken's boat "It's Magic".
They trolled wide of the Kink for a beaut 57kg Yellowfin, taken on a Rapala XRap by Ken.
Just lip hooked, it took over two hours to subdue from fear of going too hard on the fish and pulling the hooks.
Promising signs of some great fishing about to happen!
Scotty at Bermi Bait & Tackle before the weather hit last week reported that there was plenty of activity wide of the Kink last Wednesday with the boys on “Blackout” reporting multiple four and five-way hook ups on good sized albacore and small yellowfin.
Commercials captured broadbill in good numbers and big eye tuna.
Up north here is the Moruya, Tuross and surrounds fishing report thanks to the Tuross Head Fishing Club:
Fishing has been popular in Tuross River, with plenty of boats trolling for Tailor coming up with the goods but keep an eye on the size. Warm spots later in the day are producing the odd flathead.
There are bream about and if you want to rig up your float and fish for garfish.
Get the big surf rods out because there are plenty of positive reports coming off the Beaches around Tuross and Bingie with good Salmon catches around the 2-4 kilo mark.
Out to sea catches of morwong, pigfish and snapper, but you’ll find it a bit hit and miss at times, same with the kingies off of Montague Island.
The date for the next Flathead and Bream Competition with the chance for anglers to win 50 grand has been announced – in 2014 it will again be on the Canberra Day long weekend, March 8-9.
