Hi guy's, is landbased near Melbourne getting harder or is it just poor timing on my behalf ? seems I have more success on the other side of the bay on indented head, anyway as I drove past Lagoon I noticed only 3 guys fishing, something not right there !
This time of year it should be packed ! so I continue on to Brighton, when I get there same thing hardly anyone there ? whats going on I thought ! is there something I don't don't know ? so I set up with two big guns.
One with whole pilchard and one with Squid head, and one mobile set up to try my luck for fresh squid, I tried 2.5 / 3.0 / 3.5 jigs in various colors and different spots around the pier, zippo ! their not playing tonight.
The big guns remained silent all night, Brighton to me is one of those piers that fish good maybe 1 trip out of 6 trips but that's just my opinion, my buddies son did manage a Ludrick on a sliver of pilchard of all things, this is strange seeing they are a vegetarian species.
The only other captures I saw were two very large whiting taken on packet prawns also 6 average size squid from a guy fishing half way up the break wall.
I don't fish this side of the bay often because of this miss or hit nature, my up coming trips will be the other side of the bay, stay tuned for more riveting seat of your pants stuff !
below some some picks of the sunset and the Ludrick............ And my cat fish had another litter the horny devils ! They love zucchini ...
