There are reports that the fishing conditions are fantastic at the moment along the New South Wales far south coast.  

Choosing the location and packing the van for a family holiday these days involves a lot more than just throwing in a few extra fishing rods for the children as they usually want to take all their electronic equipment and the latest ps3 game.

The heavy rain of recent months has flushed out rivers and lakes.  There are large schools of bait fish near the coast. 

The warm ocean currents and ample food supply from smaller species have helped to attract bigger species to the coastal waters.  I hope for the anglers that this is the story right along the east coast this year.
