Late Summer is a good time to fish at Wallis Lake. The WHITING are still around in numbers as the water temperature remains warm they are still attacking the surface poppers and small hard bodied lures- great fun! Live and frozen worms (which you can purchase from Blue Peter Boatshed) ensure a great catch of Whiting. Look for the Live Worms Flag on Little St, Forster The FLATHEAD have moved to the lower reaches of the Lake in big numbers. Where there have been a lot of big female Flathead, generally you’ll find a number of males in the vicinity and these make good catches. Other species, BREAM, TREVALLY, FLOUNDER, TAILOR and LEATHERJACKET to name a few are regularly caught in Wallis Lake and make for a nice mixed catch of fish. TREVALLY do put up a good fight and are very good eating when cooked fresh. The Prawns will run in about ten days time after the full moon tonight (17/3/14) for a period of eight to ten days. This will entice the fish to become more active especially the WHITING. This Summer has been a record year for Blue Swimmer crabs and they are still around in large numbers. As well as Fishing in Wallis Lake there are many other great activities such as SWIMMING, SNORKELLING and PICNIC AREAS to enjoy. In our shop we have a comprehensive range of snorkels, aqua shoes, beach toys for the children, sun hats, sunscreen and sunglasses. remember WE SELL LIVE BEACH WORMS AND FROZEN FISHERMAN PACKS RIGHT THROUGH THE SUMMER MONTHS There was a burst of Spring weather earlier in the season and then we saw a return to wintery conditions and cold sea water currents.
Large FLATHEAD can be seen laying around in the shallows soaking up the warmth from the sun. We should soon be getting warm sea currents from the north which will activate the flatties and get them biting. BREAM and TREVALLY are being caught in around the oyster leases and will increase in numbers as the water temperature increases. There is a late run of BLACK FISH (LUDERICK) and they are very nice eating indeed. The Summer run of WHITING should commence soon and we have a continuous supply of Live Worms which will guarantee a nice catch of WHITING. These fish are great fun caught on poppers or small soft plastics, also available for sale at Blue Peter Boatshed. Warren is more than happy to demonstrate their rigging and use off our deck. He can assist with any other fishing or boating advice you may need. Most of the islands in WALLIS LAKE have beach areas around them and these are ideal spots for relaxing family picnics. These shallow spots are a great place to throw a line out and catch some WHITING. Our BLUE PETER boats are well equipped family sized boats and we supply a comprehensive map of WALLIS LAKE, fishing gear hire, if required, and will have the latest Fishing information available for you.

Come and find us at 95 Little Street FORSTER NSW 2428 There was a burst of Spring weather earlier in the season and then we saw a return to wintery conditions and cold sea water currents. However, Fishing will change in the coming weeks. Large FLATHEAD can be seen laying around in the shallows soaking up the warmth from the sun.

Come and find us at 95 Little Street FORSTER NSW 2428 While I don't want to discourage tourists to beautiful Wallis Lake, it is important visitors to the Great Lakes understand that Mid Coast Council have introduced a Level 4 Water Restriction during our Drought period. Our Boatshed is complying and we have appropriate measures in place and lots of signage explaining the content of these restrictions. Please see the below provided by Mid-Coast Council to ensure you fully understand the current restrictions in place. Click below to view the full PDF version of this document or go to https://www.midcoast.nsw.gov.au/Water-Services/Managing-Water-Use/Water-Restrictions
This information has been taken from the Mid Coats Council Website www.midcoast.nsw.gov.au info_guide_mcc_severe_water_restrictions_residential_25nov19__3_.pdf Download File it has been a difficult Summer Holiday period with regard to our Business and coping with Level 4 Water Restrictions. However I have to say we are so much more fortunate than our Tourist Businesses on South Coast NSW. With the Level 4 Water Restrictions our business become very Labour Intensive as far as keeping our boats clean and free from fish scraps and bait. Water was handcrafted from kitchen and used ever so sparingly. Our Fish cleaning tables were equipped with buckets for use in cleaning fish with Salt Water.
I have to thank our many Customers and Clients for their understanding of this situation and compliment them for their assistance and patience. Keep posted on the revival of Wallis Lake and the local fishing after the much needed rains recently. With the water temperature at 22 to 24 degrees the FLATHEAD have really become active. After a slow start to the season they are now taking plastics and lures readily. For those not yet converted to fishing with plastics, a piece of Mullet Fillet or Pilchard drifted along the channels will get you a nice feed of Flatties. WHITING are around in big numbers this year and are mostly being taken with live worms, which we have for sale on a continuous basis. Surface poppers used in the shallows are also a fun way to catch these great little fighters. The big BREAM are proving hard to catch. The crystal clear warm water, along with the extra boat traffic has the bigger BREAM hiding in the oyster leases or in the deeper water. Fishing into the leases between the racks will be the most productive way to catch yourself a bigger fish. Wallis Lake is full of BLACK FISH (LUDERICK) at the moment and are being caught in big numbers by those targeting them. This is rather strange given the high water temperature as they are normally a winter fish. BLUE SWIMMER and MUD CRABS are plentiful and will only increase in the coming weeks. The school JEWIES seem to have left the Lake and are being taken quite regularly off the beaches using pilchards or live worms as bait. Big 20 kg plus JEWIES are also about but are mostly caught along the breakwall using live mullet or large soft plastics. |
