Re: KGW Gippsland Lakes
I see on FB that Lakes Charter had a pic of a decent KGW catch inside the Lakes system yesterday - time to go looking again!

Re: Offshore Lakes Entrance
Sorry about your boat insurance issues Tackleberry. Well fish and chips for supper and I must admit I was pleasantly surprised by the Salmon fillets. Admittedly the original owner was bled properly and was very quickly filleted, dark meat cut out, and in the fridge. If treated properly it is quite t...

Re: Offshore Lakes Entrance
Not really offshore or inshore! Checked the Lakes web cam early this morning and the channel next to Bullock Island was alive with birds. Grabbed a rod and went down and under the birds it was equally alive with small to medium salmon. Was a fish a cast for a few minutes until the seals showed up. T...

Re: Offshore Lakes Entrance
My 2 recent trips West of The Pines resulted in a few decent Flatties among many smaller ones. Also a few large Gurnard. Anchored up in 10 metres and put out a burley bomb for an hour and finally hooked a large Gummy - which spat the hook next to the boat. Also made a quick visit to the local KGW sp...

Re: Stacer 469 outlaw
Go for it Tackleberry!!!!!!!! I fish from Lakes in a 4.25 m Ally Craft (much smaller than my previous boats but easy to handle on my own) - OK outside on a nice day but a bit limited. Am thinking of something around the size of your new boat. Not just for sea keeping but also space.

Re: KGW Gippsland Lakes
A sign or wishful thinking??????? At the ramp yesterday a legal KGW was being cleaned. The angler told me they had a school of small KGW in one of the usual haunts close to Lakes Entrance and caught several undersize plus the legal one.

Re: Lakes Entrance whiting?
Visited the usual haunts yesterday and, apart from another strong welcome from the Toadfish, no sign of any KGW. An hour casting lures and plastics did result in one decent hit but was equally fruitless in terms of catch. The KGW should be with us soon hopefully!!!!

Re: Recommendations for 5 to 6 metre aluminium boat to buy
For a long time I fished (inshore, offshore, lakes) from a 5m Quintrex Fishmaster - which was a cuddy cabin and provided good protection - and would fish 3 adults. Something around the 5.5m range should achieve what you want You should consider the hull thickness and if you can get a plate boat with...

Re: Lake entrance
Hi again bowl at present there are no reports of KGW anywhere around Lakes Entrance and with the cold water the Flathead have also been hard to come by. At the ramp cleaning tables yesterday a guy was cleaning a good catch of Bream and large Mullet - reportedly caught on sandworm and spider crab fro...
