Fishing Victoria Forum

Hi All, I have been fishing Capel Sound for squid and Tootgarook for whiting and doing really well. On Friday just gone we caught 21 squid and 19 whiting. Looks like winter fishing is alive and well. Hopefully this can be the trend now that there are no more netters in the bay.

Went out for a quick session on the squid from Tootgarook ramp. Out from about 10:30 thru to 2:30. Only managed 7 small models. Also tried at Hurricane wreck towards end of run in tide with no success. Nice day on the water.

If one of the state govt. parties is smart enough to create a policy regarding proper boat ramp governance and accountability they will win many votes.

Fished Sat morning 7/4 for only 3 small squid, 1 red mullet and 1 whiting. Tried for snapper at Hurricane wreck for only banjos and rays, several whiting marks for only 1 and even drifted near channel for 1 undersize flathead. Pretty disappointing day. Lovely weather though.
