25.01.2022 Forster/Tuncurry Fishing Report 27/11/2020. Things are really starting to heat up here in the beautiful twin towns of Tuncurry and Forster, there is a growing number of visitors enjoying the area each week and the fishing just seems to be getting better and better as we edge closer to the Summer holiday season. The local estuary fishing is simply amazing at this time of the year, the tidal waters of Wallis Lake are alive with all sorts of marine life including Prawns, Crabs a...Continue reading

24.01.2022 Forster/Tuncurry Fishing Report 20/11/2020. Wind, wind and more wind!!!! Once again, the weather has been a bit testing this week which has made for very few chances to get offshore. Luckily, Wallis Lake is fishing great and easterly winds are actually not too bad for fishing within the estuary. It’s been a big week on the Whiting front this week with plenty of fish being caught. The Trumpeter Whiting fishermen have had insanely productive sessions with some boats reporting h...Continue reading

23.01.2022 It’s a draw! The September FOTM Comp numbers have been crunched and we have a tie between Paul Johnston and Mark Byram; Paul your Snapper is an absolute ripper and Mark you were the crowd favorite . So instead of just one winner we have two, whoever makes it in first can choose between a @desolvesupply.co t-shirt or singlet, whoever comes second gets whatever is left Thanks again to everyone who supports our fun little comp, how awesome is our local fishing scene #fotm #greatlakestackle #shoplocal

23.01.2022 Seeing a box from Crossfire Lures turn up today felt like Xmas!!!! So awesome to see a few of these super effective little lures on the wall again #crossfirelures #bentminnows #flatheadfishingaustralia #greatlakestackle

22.01.2022 Took the kidlets for a wander looking for a few Flathead this morning and we had a blast! Great weather, loads of fish and plenty of laughs The Biwaa Fishing Aus 4 Deus in Neon Scale was the standout plastic with the new Low Tide Lures 3 Shad and Prawns getting plenty as well. Unfortunately lost a few rippers fishing as light as we were but still wicked to see some bigger models. #wallislake #barringtoncoast #flatheadfishing #samakifishing #biwaa #daiwaaustralia #lowtidelures #dreamcatchersbythesea

16.01.2022 How’s the finish on these @majorcraft.official Jigpara’s #majorcraft #jigpara #frogleysoffshore

15.01.2022 It’s insane how hard the fish have been hitting these things! Every pic has the very tips of the lure visible and that’s it The Nomad Design Australia and Strikerz Lure Scents combo is insanely good!!!

15.01.2022 Congratulations Shaun Vella, you and your Mulloway are the winners of the October FOTM Comp. Mate i know how much time and effort went into that fish, any Mulloway taken on a lure is a special fish and usually the first one is the result of many hours and trips casting for nothing! Well done Thanks to everyone who has sent pics in and supported our little comp, please remember that you need to get your entries in by the cut off date for them to be included in the comps. Have a great week, cheers

15.01.2022 Forster/Tuncurry Fishing Report 8/1/2021. The rain continues to fall here in the Great Lakes area and as much as some might be frustrated by its consistency, rainy weather is much better than the hot, dry, fire ravaged summers we have had for the last two years! From a fishing perspective, while the abundance of rain can make things tricky, it also ensures that our rivers are flushed out and that there is plenty of nutrient in the water column which in turn means that there i...s plenty of food about for the fish we love to target. In the estuary the biggest thing at the moment if ensuring that you are fishing the clean water. If you wait for the incoming tide and follow the clear ocean water about you will find loads of Flathead and Whiting up on the sand flats, these fish really fire up in the clean water and will smash all sorts of lures and baits but I reckon it’s very hard to beat throwing surface lures for them! Once the coffee coloured run off starts to take over (about half way through the run-out tide) the bite really tapers off, you will still find the odd Flathead but it will be tough going. Bream have also been on the chew; these brawlers love a good fresh as it stirs up and dislodges all sorts of food for them. You can target Bream all over the place at the moment; the rock walls and Oyster leases are holding some absolute beasts at the moment (along with some very big Trevally) and the weed beds down south are fishing very well with good numbers of 30cm+ fish schooling up down there. Local Beaches are fishing very well at the moment, most beaches are holding good numbers of Bream and Whiting along with the odd Flathead, Salmon and Tailor. School Mulloway are about for those wishing to put the time in with a well-presented Beach Worm accounting for the majority of captures. There is a buzz of anticipation about the local ledges as the LBG season seems to be shaping up very nicely, once the inshore water settles and clears a little anything is possible! There have been a few dedicated fishos testing the water early and there are a few Mack Tuna, Tailor and Kingfish about, the good old Cobia can’t be far off either! Offshore has been fishing well with a huge range of species on offer at the moment. Demersal reef species are still fishing better out on the deeper reefs with most ground in 40-80m holding nice Snapper, Teraglin and Pearl Perch. Heading north you will find a lot of dirty water being pushed out of the Manning River, sometimes it’s worth finding the dirty ‘tide line’ and sounding it out, there will often be schools of Snapper sitting just behind it waiting for an easy meal! The pelagic season has well and truly kicked off now, offshore water temps are really nice and the water quality is fantastic so it’s no surprise that there are plenty of small Black Marlin and Mahi Mahi getting about. Fingers crossed next weeks’ warm weather doesn’t bring too many nasty nor easterly winds with it. Have a great Weekend!!!!

14.01.2022 Get in quick people, with or without COVID summer spots are rare as hens teeth

14.01.2022 We had better get the September FOTM Comp under way!!! Up for grabs this round is a new T-Shirt or Singlet of your choice from the awesome guys at Desolve Supply Co. To be in the running simply post your best catch from September in the comments below or message them in to us directly. I will kick the comp off on Tuesday and announce a winner next weekend #desolveclothing #fotm #greatlakestackle

14.01.2022 After large bait Prawns? The UFISH Brined Baits guys delivered some crackers today #ufish #riverprawn #brinedbaits

14.01.2022 Forster/Tuncurry Fishing Report 15/1/2021. It’s been nice to have a break from the rain and to experience some weather that feels a bit more like the summer that we are used to. Unfortunately, this weather pattern has meant that we have had to contend with some easterly winds but this hasn’t deterred fishing efforts one bit! The estuary is fishing amazingly well at the moment. Flathead are being caught hand over fist and can be found just about anywhere. This time of the year...Continue reading

14.01.2022 So pumped for these

14.01.2022 @samakifishing Zing Gen3 rods are finally on deck!!!! This is a huge range of very well priced rods, there’s literally a rod for everything in there #samakifishing #zing #greatlakestackle

13.01.2022 Forster/Tuncurry Fishing Report 24/12/2020. We have had bucket loads of rain over the past week and while it has been a bit of an inconvenience for some, most would have to agree that a rainy summer is a million times better than a dry summer dominated by fire! It’s no surprise that the recent weather has affected our beautiful estuary significantly, the water is like coffee for much of the run out tide however the incoming ocean water is relatively clear and warming up more ...Continue reading

12.01.2022 A nice little top up of Profishent Tackle shirts and singlets has just turned up, including a wicked new pig design #profishenttackle

11.01.2022 To think that our estuary can cop the amount of rain that we have had and still deliver such awesome fishing never ceases to amaze me! Chasing Ting up in the shallows on surface is too much fun! #wallislake #whitingfishing #surfacefishing #bassdaysugapen #frogleysoffshore #atomicfishing #samakifishing #zingextreme #daiwaaustralia #greatlakestackle

11.01.2022 Keep an eye out for the arrival of the new ‘GLT Special’ colour in the super effective Low Tide Lures Prawn, this colour has been slaying the Flathead for Forster Estuary Charters

10.01.2022 The nice big full moon that we had over the weekend made for very tricky fishing conditions, evidenced no more than by the entrants in the Bream fishing tournament that was held over Saturday and Sunday. Just about the whole field struggled to find fish and the winning bags fell a long way short of what you would expect from our amazing waterways! Thankfully the moon has waned, and the bite has returned now with plenty of good fish about. On the Bream front things are very in...Continue reading

07.01.2022 Forster/Tuncurry Fishing Report 9/10/2020. The Great Lakes has really turned on some amazing weather for the second week of the school holidays. Most days have been nice and sunny with calm mornings followed by a bit of a cool breeze in the afternoons. On the fishing front things have been fairly positive, while some anglers have struggled to find the fish, most have reported catching good mixed bags of fish. Wallis Lake has been insanely busy this week with loads of boats ou...Continue reading

06.01.2022 Forster/Tuncurry Fishing Report 16/10/2020. We have been very lucky to have had another beautiful week here in the Great Lakes, the mornings have been particularly nice on most days. Unfortunately, afternoons tend to be a fairly windy affair over the next few months which can prove to be a huge frustration for anglers, particularly the offshore enthusiasts. However, if you can get out early you should be able to squeeze in plenty of hours to go and find a few fish. Wallis Lak...Continue reading

05.01.2022 Forster/Tuncurry Fishing Report 13/11/2020. Once again, we have had to deal with some tumultuous weather this week which has seen most days ruined by fairly unsettled conditions. On the plus side, water temperatures have been on the increase and we now have some really nice, clear water lapping our coastline delivering with it loads of baitfish and hopefully the odd summer time speedster! The estuary has plenty on offer, regardless of how windy and wet things get. Trumpeter W...Continue reading
