Fishing Victoria Forum

2 people 1 hr today Seems we have a friend in common. Was in Paynesville last week and started hearing fishing reports from a neighbour that sounded very similar to your reports on here. I asked a few questions and it turns out you were one and the same. Phil was meant to head out on the ting yeste...

One thing not mentioned (or I missed it) is not to throw back the undersized whiting while you’re still catching as it seems to scare the school off sometimes. I put the littleuns in the live tank or bucket of fresh seawater and return them before I move spots. Did anyone mention the pippy/squid coc...

I plant them and make a Whiting tree Ive had others ask me brfore -Refer a previous post of mine What do you do with the fish you catch?

I agree with 4litres breakdown. I attached a great little picture giving us a breakdown of Cephalopoda, the divergence between octopodiformes and decapodiformes and then further into our sepia cuttlefish and sepioteuthis which contain the southern reef squid, big fin reef squid and caribbean reef s...

Basically Cephalopod is their class, Southern Calamari is the common name for their species. Don’t they teach this stuff at school anymore?

Didn’t even bother catching a squid on one in the promo.
