Had a great morning out front from Barwon heads in about 45m heading to Queenscliff. Was out at first light on the start of the ebb and had our first tuna in 20min and another about a hour later both in the 40lb range. The 450mm spreader bar in pink with a pink paukula uzi skirted lure did all the d...

Hi everyone, Good to be on the water today with my 2 sons. Yesterday the squid out of clifton springs was going off on high tide in 2.5m of water on white jigs 3.0/3.5.... 7 in total in under a hour. We got out of barwon heads today at first light and had some major bites and runs off fresh squid ri...

Hello fellow fishos, Went trolling for Tuna and Kingfish out of Barwon Heads yesterday with no luck unfortunately and didn't see much on the sounder either. After a few hours I decided to anchor up (38 18.999S - 144 29.989E) back straight out from the bluff in 36m of water.... with a full moon comin...

Great stuff, nice gummies. Reckon it's a bit early for tuna/king? Charters don't start kingfish til Jan or even Feb. I've started this time of year for the past 5 or 6 years as it seems they are definitely around but can be hard to come by. They are in smaller numbers and tend to be mostly rats 50c...

Another fantastic report...are you using circle hooks?

Always.Gamakatsu, i'm happy to pay the little extra for quality hooks.

Great report and even better catch!! What size circle hooks do you usually have on and how do you set up your line? I mostly use size 5/0 with twisted paternoster rig with the 2 branches a minimum of 30cm long and 50cm apart. 60lb tough trace about 2m all up. This set up is my goto out front of bar...

What a weekend for fishing out of Barwon Heads, yes tons of boats but weather and fishing made up for the inconvenience. Saturday I took my time knowing Ocean Grove boat ramp would be hectic at first light so I waited until 7:30am and put the boat in with no wait at all. I started trolling in 15m of...

Went straight out past the bluff today and started off by catching a few mackerel in about 30m of water at sunrise. Started a drift close to the wrecks in about 50m with two live baits (ball sinker to swivel with short leader and 7/0 in top jaw) got them down about mid water, I also put out 2 twiste...

Wow, it's been ages. Thanks covid, Rain and what seems to feel like non stop easterly winds. Was finally able to get out front of barwon heads today with my two young fellas and as usual it didn't disappoint. 40m straight out from the bluff we didn't have a great deal of action for about a hour but ...
