Fishing Victoria Forum

Caught some last night on the Mornington peninsula. Took me a few trips to work out which areas they are in. Used the open top yabbie nets which fold flat. Bait used was old bacon, fishcake and cooked steamed chicken skin left overs from lunch. Also caught them on mango skins/seeds and old marinara ...

If you’re land based, I got 2 salmon around 45cm last Sunday on cut pilchard from the pier. They came on the bite just on sunset around 8.30pm. Few others caught fish around the same size all within a 5-10 minute window. One of the resident seals stole a fish or two to add to the excitement. Took my...

Welcome back Damo! Hopefully can take the boat out again when I’m not working or travelling! Great to see you back on here!

Great job man. Seems like the bigger models have finally arrived. Yees, I would say that’s very likely! Took my boat out for a squirt the previous Saturday(10/9) afternoon from Stony with the intention to fish Flinders but ended up fishing near Hastings for squid. Wind and tide and rain were agains...

Headed out for squid last Monday morning around 9am from Rye and started fishing a drop off near Tyrone boat ramp and managed 2 small squid on jigs then moved to the “Sisters” at Sorrento then bagged out on squid on size 3-4 jigs. Dark natural colours worked well. Squid ranged from 15-45cm hoods and...

My first tip is to make sure your bait is on the bottom. Caught many 1kg+ flathead from the jetty there next to the fish co-op when I used to go there as a child on school holidays. Nothing fancy, running sinker rig with a 2/0-4/0 hook with pilchard with a 40-60cm leader from swivel to hook. The rid...

Hi Fisherlady, The rocks at Petticoat creek offer good fishing for snapper, whiting, mullet, wrasse and trevally. Best to fish there in low swell or an offshore wind. You mentioned that one of the members of your party is unsteady on their feet which might make fishing the beach next to the rocks a ...

Great report! Been meaning to head down to Wurdi, as often pass by and see cars parked near the wall.

Caught 30 odd pinkies off the Timeball tower on Monday afternoon from the low tide change till sunset. Only 2 keepers but action was pretty steady in 6m. Used pilchard, tommy rough, mullet and left over prawn and fish caught on all. Around half a dozen boats were in the area the whole time. Most wer...
