Sydney & Wollongong Fishing Report
Andrew from our wollongong store fished early on the weekend off Wollongong and found some nice Snapper. He was in about 40m of water using soft plastics and managed a very nice 4.4kg red. The Z-man Scented Paddlerz 5″ in colour bleeding banana caught the fish in the end but he also dropped a bigger fish half way through the fight using a Z-man DieZel Minnowz 4″ in colour sexy penny.
A customer just came in saying he’s caught some solid Snapper up to 3kg while fishing off the rocks in Kiama.
