Re: Lakes Entrance whiting?
Visited the usual haunts yesterday and, apart from another strong welcome from the Toadfish, no sign of any KGW. An hour casting lures and plastics did result in one decent hit but was equally fruitless in terms of catch. The KGW should be with us soon hopefully!!!!

Re: Recommendations for 5 to 6 metre aluminium boat to buy
For a long time I fished (inshore, offshore, lakes) from a 5m Quintrex Fishmaster - which was a cuddy cabin and provided good protection - and would fish 3 adults. Something around the 5.5m range should achieve what you want You should consider the hull thickness and if you can get a plate boat with...

Re: Lake entrance
Hi again bowl at present there are no reports of KGW anywhere around Lakes Entrance and with the cold water the Flathead have also been hard to come by. At the ramp cleaning tables yesterday a guy was cleaning a good catch of Bream and large Mullet - reportedly caught on sandworm and spider crab fro...

Re: Lake entrance
Hi Bowl
At present the Lakes system (at least the lakes closer to Lakes Entrance) are dead with no KGW around as yet. The Charter boats are getting reasonable catches of Pinkies and other reef fish offshore. There has been reasonable Bream fishing in the rivers. Hope this helps.

SEA RUN BROWN TROUT
Nice to see a Sea Run Brown Trout caught in Lake King last week. Back in the day when there was netting in the Gippsland lakes every so often a large trout would be caught. The occasional large brown is also caught below the Bairnsdale weir in the Mitchell River.

Re: Offshore Lakes Entrance
I fished off The Pines this morning with half a dozen keeper Flathead (no big ones) and 4 large Gurnard. Back at the cleaning table 2 nice Gummies were being cleaned - the first Gummies I have seen for some time.

Re: Offshore Lakes Entrance
Headed East this morning for a change and after several drifts between 16 and 20 m not a single bite. Ended up working my way back off The Pines where I finally managed 2 keepers among the babies. Another boat fishing near me managed just 1 keeper - the larger Flathead are certainly scarce at the mo...

Re: Offshore Lakes Entrance
I went out yesterday as well Ango but a bit later than you - plagued by small Flathead off The Pines. Kept 2 around 40 cm, lost a couple of similar sized ones, and released a lot around 25 to 30 cm.
