Fishing Victoria Forum

Further to my earlier post a very strong motivation for almost all politicians is to get re-elected. There are millions of us - why do you think the Victorian government strongly supports fishing and boating! Too many of us will just sit back but I encourage as many as possible to email their local ...

I worked for a few months in the NT and used a Daiwa baitcaster. I started off not trying to cast too far, kept a bit of pressure on the spool, and gradually increased the distance and the lure weight. As they say practice makes perfect!

I strongly suggest that not only clubs but individuals swamp their local MPs of whatever party to say that if they want continued support they need to vote to amend the draft legislations.

Had a quick fish late this afternoon very close to the beach just past where the sand outflow pipes are located. End result was a nice Gummy and a couple of missed hits. Was a bit lumpy but not too bad. With my daughter and family visiting for the ANZAC weekend it was good to stock up the freezer a ...

Welcome back Pirkz the local "Whiting Whisperer". I put in a very long day last week and finally managed 2 KGW 36 and 38 cm near Metung. Was plauged by tiny Snapper in some spots.

A long day out with a friend in a much bigger boat yesterday. Fished various spots as far as the pipeline. End was result was just 2 decent Flathead and a legal but not very big Gummy. Lots of very small School Sharks in some spots and the occasional other small fish returned. All in all a very poor...

re-tyred do you put down a burley pot when chasing Gunnies or are they a by-product of drifting for Flatties. Also where is Petman's please? I have found that fishing a paternoster rig and keeping baits off the bottom reduces the number of rays that get hooked up.

Today I came back in about 6.30 pm and the crowd at the ramp had gone. Went out and anchored in 12 m off The Pines at 4.00 pm with a burley pot down and was kept busy by an assortment of small School Sharks, a couple of Banjos, a Port Jackson, a big ray that I broke off and finally a good Gummy to m...

Well two more KGW trips since my last post - tried the usual haunts and ended up with just 2 KGW around 36 cm each trip. Was fishing in the channel about halfway between the Barrier Landing and Flanagans Is when a huge school of Salmon errupted around the boat. Within just a few minutes every bird i...

Sorry I do not have a brag mat but on the gunnel I have a fisheries length sticker. As I was on my own a pic on the sticker was not an option.
