don't bother with lake tyers. dad was there on the weekend and it was the lowest he has ever seen it. i went there in march and it hadn't opened for close to 2 years before that, so almost 2.5-3 years since it's opened... needs a solid flush out of salt water. same goes for tamboon.Pistol wrote:Yeah, good luck mate. I've fished Metung and the lakes a few times over the last few years and have never done any good. The Yacht Club jetty has been OK for tiny bream if that floats your boat but the whole system is pretty ordinary in my view. Better off heading further east to Marlo (I haven't fished Lake Tyers so can't comment on there), Bemm or Tamboon. Tamboon was also really ordinary last April due to the mouth being closed. We really need some heavy rain to fix up Tamboon and Mallacoota, but the Bemm sounds OK from reports. If you insist on trying Metung, take your golf clubs! ps. I'm talking lures only, haven't used bait in these systems for 20 years so that might work if you want to go to the "dark side". Maybe drop into the paint shop in Bairnsdale and have a chat to Peter Nord, he'll know the current conditions, or the bait guy as someone else mentioned.
bemm has opened to my knowledge but i've seen reports lately and nothing too special. honestly, far east gippsland seems pretty average. maybe come back to mclaughlins for some nice flathead? i dunno.
we had a lot of snow this winter, i thought maybe that melting may have topped up the estuaries a lot but i was wrong
