Beach: we've had fantastic run of big whiting. Smoky Beach, because of the big seas, has some great gutters at the moment. Anglers are getting heaps of bream, heaps of whiting and a few flathead.

River: we've had about a foot of rain, and with the dirty water coming down we're getting jewfish. They're being caught along the break wall, and we're also seeing miles of bream. It's been our best bream run in years.

Some great blackfish are being caught; I weighed one clean that was 1.6kg.

Flathead are just starting to come in. The water is still a bit cold so they're a bit lethargic, but there are a few around the Jerseyville area.

Outside: off the northern reefs we've been getting some snapper and a few pearlies. Down south there are good kings around Fish Rock. Around Rocks in Line we're seeing plenty of big mowies and a few snapper. There are also some bluefin off Hat Head.
