SPRINGTIME fishing has started with a bang according to charter operator Scotty Lyons of Southern Sydney Fishing Tours.
Lyons reports a big week offshore last week for snapper with one day mid-week producing 18 good reds and four morwong from a reef outside of Botany Bay.
Flathead are apparently also coming on the bite with Lyons’s clients scoring some nice lizards in closer to shore. Lyons reported his crew scored a good catch of trevally in Botany Bay last Saturday although overall the fishing was a little slow.
Reasonable catches of flathead were also reported by another boat targeting flathead on soft plastics in Yarra Bay.
