I don't think the change will do any damage to the fishing at the moment - if anything it could get them on the chew even more.

They seem to be biting everywhere, and a change often turns them on.

They're certainly having a crack over on the coast with a few marlin really having a dip.

Chris Sedgwick is "working" over at Bermagui at the moment, but has managed to find a bit of time to get out.

Chris, Dan Black, Dave Casser and Kane from Wagga landed nine marlin for the day last Monday.

Darren and Josh Read got over later in the week, managing a couple of dolphin fish and a marlin respectively.

It's also been one of the best seasons for flathead for a long time right along the coast, with everyone reporting good quality fish all over the place.

Bit of a shame we're stuck here - might have to do something about that shortly. I don't know why I'm complaining though; the fishing around here is still pretty damn good.

Dartmouth (62.12 per cent) - has been good, but we're not getting a heap of reports.

Those we are getting are of fish basically in the 10-to-15-metre mark, with Tassies of various colours working. Although, I did have two different crews say they're stand out was no. 55.

The yabbies certainly haven't reached the numbers they have over the past year or two, but you'll get a taste if you drop in a couple of pots.

Streams - are great everywhere, with hopper pattern flies, or the real thing drifting as naturally as possible, giving best results.

Lure fishos are also having pretty good success on Celtas, Vibraxs and small minnows too.

But if those trout are a bit gun shy and you're getting a lot of follows without a take, I'd be drifting a bait or two.

Lake Hume (56.2 per cent) - has redfin everywhere, as long as you drop onto them.

It doesn't seem to matter what part of the lake you're fishing - they seem to be all over the place in decent numbers.

Same old story, following those birds is a sure-fire way of locating them.

The Cod Scene - is all positive, with all techniques catching fish.

As mentioned last week though, now's the time to get into casting surface lures if you've been thinking about it, particularly in smaller water.

Cicadas are around in big numbers, the cod are super aware of them, making them a lot more willing to come up and smash things off the top.

The Murray around Albury and right through to Mulwala is producing plenty too, although there's quite a few smaller ones among them.

Trout cod numbers have increased dramatically above Lake Mulwala, so it might be an idea to brush up on your fish ID just in case you make a blue and keep something that might just end up costing you a lot of money. Remember, trout cod are a fully protected species.

One fisho told me he caught five trout cod before he landed a Murray cod below Howlong this week.

Mulwala - is fishing OK, despite the weed giving everyone a bit of grief.

The Upper Murray is still kicking goals, particularly for the bait fishos.

Lake Hume (56.2 per cent) - has dropped another couple of per cent this week, but it isn't worrying those reddies.

Everyone's getting a few and most techniques are catching fish, although the vibe/blade cast about with a small plastic above is still the most successful method.

Blowering (75.8 per cent) - is also fishing well for the reddies, with the same techniques working up that way too.

The fish are supposed to be a tad on the larger side, but it's hard to leave fish to find fish, unless you just want a change of scenery.

The Snowy Lakes - have been a bit tougher for most this past week, with only a couple of reasonable reports among quite a few fishos that have hit it lately.
