Fishing Victoria Forum

Inspired by the weekends success, I returned the following Thursday out to the same spot in the rain. Messaging a friend of mine who fishes a bit from his boat, he agreed to meet me out there when he finished work. Pushing through the wet and heading out to the ledge about 3pm, I spent nearly an hou...

I know I don't post on here much anymore but I thought I'd try and write fairly regular reports about the LBG situation up here at JB. Watching the currents drift down the coast and the warmer water start to arrive, Cam, Sammy and I decided it was time to start putting in some significant effort off...

I quite honestly just use a fresh one every time I go fishing. I find after a salt water session the hooks tend to blunt enough to make it not worthwhile for the little ones in particular. The larger 'slimey slayer' type rigs I cut down to only have 2 flashers then tie a flutter jig or a glow metal ...

MAN TO BE CHARGED FOR ILLEGAL ABALONE HAUL 92 times over than the daily bag limit which is 5 abalone per person. 420 of the caught fish were also under the legal minimum size of 10cm. Death by couta insertion. Tail first. Auction the right to lube him up then donate all the money to a marine conser...

Thanks guys, that was really helpful. Gone with the 50lb Tasline on this one and moved to 40lb on the Ultegra 5500 (with 30lb on the 4000) so I have pretty good coverage now. 30lb and 50lb fluoro leader options so I think I'm set. Appreciate your help. Any other piers in PPB a chance for kings? Thi...

Not joking.
