Re: Offshore Lakes Entrance

I had a go this morning, I fished west of the entrance in about 20 m, I do not anchor, only drift. After a procession of gurnards and undersize flatties, and also a good workout with a skate (on slider rig) I ended up with one gummy on a paternoster rig so for sure paternoster rigs are the go, I wil...

I s...

Re: KGW Gippsland Lakes

I went out yesterday and fished all my whiting spots from Wollaston bay to Sperm Whale head, 1 undersize bream was all I got. The water was pretty brown, hopefully it clears up and they fire up soon.
Cheers

Re: Stacer 469 outlaw

I have a 4.5 m tinny & take it offshore with no issues if the conditions are good, you just need a bit of common sense in deciding to go out or not, Keep a good eye on the weather reports and the current speed (Gippsland Ports website) for crossing the bar. I have taken this boat off shore from Meri...

Re: Vintage rod found in hard rubbish

A mate had one of these back in the day, it was great for gars from the piers. Good for small salmon too, we called them bay trout, and mullet & bream in the creeks.

Re: Offshore Lakes Entrance

I went out to the reefs today, it was bit quiet, maybe the conditions were too good, I find the fishing goes quite if it's too calm. I ended up with 3 pinkies & 2 Mowies, all 30 to 33 cm, plus the usual throw backs, gurnards, sgt bakets barber perch etc. so at least a couple of feeds. It was a very ...

Lakes Entrance whiting?

Hi All. The latest "East Gippsland Fishing Report" for Lakes Entrance has KG whiting getting caught around the islands. I take these reports with a grain of salt but it would be good if there were whiting around at this time of the year because I would be chasing them rather than going offshore afte...

Re: GURNARD - WELL WORTH A TRY!!!

I keep a couple if I have already caught a flattie or 2 and need more to get a meal together. My enthusiasm for them has waned a bit after I got spiked, there was plenty of pain and my finger swelled up for 3 days so I prefer steer clear of them if I can, they are good tucker though.

Re: Offshore Lakes Entrance

I was out there yesterday, I dropped the boat in about 8.00 am, I had to use the ramp opposite Laura St because there was no parking left at the Skate Park ramp, as it turned out, Laura St was better due to no climbing up and down the very high dock as at the Skate Park. I went straight out to 6 mil...
