Fishing Victoria Forum

I'd do some research online or on the forum to make sure you got the rights rigs/setup for the species your chasing, as a rough guide, things like; Snatchers for Whiting 2.5 - 3.5 Jigs for Squid Light Running Sinkers for Pinkies/Snapper The correct Rods/Reels also help - budget permitting of course....

i reckon the tackle shop wasn't far off. I get they can be caught and many have in the past, but i haven't a decent haul of gars or whiting of any of those piers recently (I frequent Port Melbourne/St Kilda Area weekly).. This time of the year i'd be fishing a simple light running sinker with pillie...

Chase Pinkies, Look for SW - wind direction, go the the local piers (Lagoon, Kerferd, Station), have a chat to a few people, a paternoster or running sinker with pilchard, fish peak times - sunrise / sunset..

Sorry about the late reply, it was a good ride along the coast, no more then about 20minutes.. Stuck with the plan, found a few good size flatties early 7-8m between StKilda & Sandringham, couldn't find the squid..

Also been there quite a few times and have never seen any squid..

$1000 dollar hull, max.. & if you had a grand you probably wouldn't buy that, no no for me, especially with a dead engine, you'll be pouring way more into it..

Good work! Good to see the pinkies coming in, decent sizes too. Great fun on the boat with light gear. I was going to give them a crack this weekend but the weather doesn't look great, might have to duck out for a sunset trip Thu/Fri.. Steve, what approx. depth you finding the pinkies at? Out deep o...

Great work Abzz. Love reading stories like this, just proves that even Kingfish are an option for dedicated enough landbased anglers. To me the location is irrelevant but seeing these types of reports actually motivates LBG Anglers to go and try out they're own ledges.. For example, i fish a lesser ...
