Bermi To Eden

[Geoff]

Made our annual trip south to my cousins place at Brogo ( 16km north of Bega ) last week.

For fishing , Brogo is approx 30 -40min drive to either Bermagui or Tathra , a further 10 min onto Eden or 15min to Brogo dam.

Friday , 6th. Weather a bit sad so decided on Eden as Twofold Bay is reasonably protected.. Picked up a few livies around the trawler mornings so headed across the bay to the wood chip mill wharf. Heaps of yakka but very reluctant to take a bait.

Moved around the bay for a mixed bag of reef fish & a few Flatties

Saturday afternoon, land based at Brogo dam for one keeper Bass

Sunday afternoon , Cuttagee Beach . Pick up a 2.5kg Salmon & 2 Tailor

Monday. Back to Brogo Dam with the boat . Scenery was great but no fish. See below post for pic's

Tuesday There is always 1 day in a week that is perfect & Tuesday was the day. Calm water & fish every where & the action was non stop.

This is what we kept

Wednesday Bega River , it flows into the ocean at the northern end of Tathra beach. Not much action but young Simon was very excited when he caught this small Trevor

Thursday , Back to Cuttagee beach. Very slow , only 1 small throw back Salmon

Friday Weather forecast , 1 - 1.5mt swell & 5/10 knots from the N/E. Arrived at the headland over looking the Tathra ramp to be greeted by 2 - 3.5mt swell & a 15/20 knot southerly. So much for an accurate forecast. With the ocean looking very unpleasant we decided to head back to the house.

Overall , a great week & plans under way for a return next Easter

Brogo Dam ,is that dam fishable from a powered boat ???

Cheers Stewy

Stewy Yes , provided there is sufficient to cover the boat ramp. On this occusion the dam was at 100%.

Last year the water was very low with several meters of sand between the end of the ramp & the water.

Would have been OK for launching / retreiving little tinnies but a struggle for anything larger. Main problem , the sand is very soft also , there is a drop off from the end of the ramp to the sand

If your ever planning to head down that way let me know & will be able to advise the latest situation
