MALLACOOTA: Young Ollie Hicken was delighted to catch this magnificent flathead. (PS)

The recent rain has freshened up local waterways, and the fish are still biting, pleasing plenty of anglers.

Marlo: Flathead, whiting, and bream are active in the system, taking fresh prawn and sandworm. Salmon and the occasional mulloway are also being landed

off the beach.

Bemm River: Bream and perch are present, while flathead are chasing soft plastics.

Mallacoota: Sandy Point, Gypsy Point, and Fisherman’s Pier are all producing catches. Soft plastics, minnows, fresh prawn, and surface lures are proving effective. For off-the-beach fishing, Tip Beach is worth a try, and for gummies offshore, check the area between the Two Islands.

MALLACOOTA: Not to be outdone by her brother, Macie Hicken joined in the flathead catching fun. (PS)
BEMM RIVER: Marlon Henry returned to the Bemm River last week after a 20 year hiatus and found the flathead fishing red hot. (PS)
