Fishing Victoria Forum

Been hitting up one of the local creeks for Reddies, fishing mainly 1-2hrs before sunset and having some luck, just curious to know if it’s worth sticking around any longer and fishing while dark. From what I’ve experienced as soon as The Sun goes down the bites stop for me, just want to see if the ...

Hey guys, down Portland way for the weekend picking up a mates boat, struggled today on the fish so resorted to here to try pick up some advice. Preferably wanting to go for gummy/school sharks, but I’ll be happy with anything that taste good. Just wondering if I could get any tips on what ground to...

Same here buddy, been watching winds all week for western port on BOM and sea breeze. To see the winds change so quick is a bummer :down:

From what I've heard there are Redfin in the lakes in the Hidden Valley estate, haven't fished it myself though. Also Merri creek down towards craigieburn or Campbellfield holds Carp and Redfin as well, last time I went was very overgrown and hard to access creek.
Cheers aussie

Would anyone have an idea of the water conditions with a 20km westerly then increasing to a 25km north westerly, in PPB.

Depends where your planning on going. Werribee/Altona area normally has a bit of a chop with a westerly, but should be fine when the north-west kicks in.

Abu Garcia VERITAS 601SPH 6-10kg rod, I have dragged in 20kg + eagle Ray's on the 3-5kg combo and seen it bend down to the butt of the rod, I'm sure the heavier combo will handle anything.
Rate the silstars highly as well

Lost my favourite silstar 2-4kg flick stick to a ray, had it sitting in the rod holder and the braid got caught around the reel, the Ray went under the boat and snap, before I could even get it out.

Out from Werribee south in 10-12m of water, and also around the sand between point cook and Altona, I believe it's the mouth of korroiet creek from what I can remember.
