Belligero Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 fish north entrance find a gutter and fish live bait or fresh. Pretty sure there is very little water flowing from the mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingyjohn Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Is the lake fishing any good with the little flow ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a little slow fishing though I don't fish it as much as I will be now I have a yak. From what I have read due to the low water flow it also takes longer for the water temp to rise unless we get a lot of hot days close together. If you are land based soft plastics would be your best bet in the lake just walk along the banks I'd start from Terilbah Island and work my way around. Heaps of old guys fish for black fish on the other side past the tackle shop its amazing how many they catch. Plenty of mullet school also around this area also.

Koalaboi Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) The run to the sea is full of sand and little tidal flow through the lake west of the bridge. Historically, the fishing has been best with the channel open. There's hardly any flow atm with the channel only about 2 metres wide and maybe a foot deep at the beach. I've found this winter to be very disappointing. The blackfish run was very patchy. Some leatherjackets around a little while back. No poddies in the shallows when I checked the other day. Don't know about bream and a bit early for whiting, flatties, prawns and crabs. That being said, fish long enough and hard enough and you may score the odd flattie or bream. Beach and stones look a better option for land based fishing. Good luck and post a report about your trip to let us know how you went.

antonywardle Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I've not had much luck at the Entrance this winter. Even the mullet haven't been biting all that much. Its a good spot to take my youngest, and he has managed a few nice bream, but really, it was pretty quiet. The black fish fisho's thought it was pretty slow too. A couple of blokes have been going ok for flathead on plastics. Whats the pelicans when cleaning, they are pretty aggressive atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hill373737 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Here are a couple of photos of the Channel from last Saturday - its a race now to see if the dredge finishes before the Channel completely closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquidMarks Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I guessing the groyne construction at south entrance beach did very little to keep the channel open.......... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
