NSW Fishing Monthly editor Tony Zann’s weekend report
September 3, 2010
Bruce at Dave’s Bait Shop in Ballina says there are still bream around and the flathead are improving quite well.
Blackfish running pretty well around the Prospect Bridge and the Porpoise Wall.
The sea has started to build but there have been tailor and a lot of salmon, especially around the walls and South Beach.
There should be a few jew around the walls on lures as the sea picks up further.

NSW Fishing Monthly editor Tony Zann’s weekend report
August 27, 2010
Andrew at Dave’s Bait Shop in Ballina says a lot of tailor and some big salmon have been chasing pillies on South Ballina Beach, with some jew and lots of flathead as well.
The closer reefs have been good for reds but too many jackets out wide.
The headlands also have good tailor and the occasional jew, with some big bust-offs on GTs off Lennox Headland. The breakwalls have tailor, salmon and school jew. Also a few bream about.
The Richmond River has plenty of small bream, flathead and the occasional jewfish. One or two blackfish but weed is pretty scarce.
Windy at Evans Head today (Fri) and the surf’s been flat as all week but is tipped to come up over the weekend.
