Tweed River Bait & Tackle

THE COLD WEATHER IS BRINGING ON SOME GOOD REPORTS OF LUDERWICK IN THE TWEED RIVER. UP UNTIL THIS POINT THE SEASON HAS BEEN A FAIRLY POOR ONE COMPARED TO LAST YEAR. THE USUAL SPOTS - BOYDS BAY BRIDGE AND DRYDOCK ROAD HAVE JUST NOT FIRED THIS YEAR TO DATE. ALSO IT DOES NOT HELP THAT LOCAL WEED SUPPLIES HAVE BEEN WASHED AWAY WITH ALL THE WET WEATHER. LUCKILY WE HAVE AGAIN BEEN ABLE TO SOURSE A SUPPLY FROM YAMBA AND IT HAS BEEN WORKING WELL. OUR BLACK MAGIC HOOKS ARE PROVING POPULAR AGAIN WITH MANY DRIVING UP FROM BRUNSWICK TO BUY THEM.
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME VERY BIG TAILOR OFF THE BEACHES IN THE LAST WEEK AND THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING CHOPPERS AROUND BOYDS BAY BRIDGE.
THE BREAM CLASSIC WAS HELD LAST WEEKEND IN JULY AND SOME NICE BREAM WERE CAUGHT ON LURES. IF YOU WANT TO TRY LURES WE CAN RECOMMEND SOME FOR YOU, IT IS A LOT EASIER TO CATCH THEM ON BAIT AND AT THIS TIME OF YEAR WE HAVE THE BIGGER RUN OF SEA BREAM COMING INTO THE RIVER. WE HAVE SOME GOOD MULLET GUT WITH ONIONS AVAILABLEL. THIS BAIT STAYS ON THE HOOK AND THE BREAM JUST CAN'T RESIST IT.
OFFSHORE WE HAVE BEEN GETTING GOOD CATCHES OF SNAPPER AND KINGFISH.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR TWEED FISHING EXPERIENCE SO PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO WRITE INTO THE NEW FORUM.
