ROBBO Reelers Greg Barea, David Stella and Luis Seisas fished down off Shoalhaven Heads over the weekend.
The anglers fished in poor weather conditions, but they managed a nice mixed bag.
The catch included snapper, morwong, leather jackets and four kingfish up to 6kg.
Lake Illawarra is still producing some nice flathead up to 45cm and bream in the channel on the western side of Windang Bridge.
There are still some blue swimmers about.
But those numbers have slowed down a fair bit probably due to all of the rain.
Burrinjuck Dam has been producing some nice silver perch and golden perch.
Anglers have been using lures, while the odd murry cod has been caught.
St Georges Basin is still producing plenty of bream and whiting in the shallow water under one metre deep on blade and soft plastic lures.
Andy Clark fished a bit north of Kiama light house to tangle with some nice kingfish up to 10kg on live baits.
Unfortunately, Clark lost the bigger ones on the reef.
Out wide on the game fishing scene, the Shoalhaven Game Fishing Club's annual tournament was held over three days last weekend.
But the windy weather conditions made it tough to get out wide and have a crack for a big blue Marlin.
Team El Bandito managed to tag and release five kingfish, two sharks and one black marlin to win the tag and release event.
No captures were recorded, but there were a few big marlin and sharks lost over the weekend at The Banks.
