Fishing Victoria Forum

Went one my now annual camping trip to Portland between Christmas and New Years.

Water was a bit cold still for kings although there had been some sporadic reports, and I've recently sold and haven't yet replaced the kayak I had that was suited for big trips out wide - as such my chances of getting any kings or tuna were fairly minimal but slightly higher than if I'd stayed at home.

Highlights - catching lots of fish, successfully trying out a couple of new techniques, getting away from home for a while

Lowlights - losing a collapsible bucket, landing net and floating aerator over the side of the yak, no kings or tuna, fuckwits at the campsite partying until 3am

The squid were all a bit big for the improvised livewell

Some big as squid there.
I like the underwater squid photos. Clear water. GoPro?

It's a fake GoPro, it does essentially the same thing though

Amazing report and pics mate, you got a link to that fake go pro? Fantastic quality cheers

It's a Kaiser Baas X250.

I can't see it here but there's a few that I guess are similar: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/collections/c ... as-cameras

It was about $80 from memory

Cheers mate, that's a realy good camera for that price. Wont hurt the pocket if you lost one.

That lure of yours is certainly gets plenty of attention.

Yeah it's not bad, it can make the horizon look a bit funny at times but otherwise I'm quite happy with it.

Some of those photos were taken with the iPhone, the camera in it is a bit ****** though so some of them are a bit out of focus.

All the pictures from the fake GoPro have the date and time at the bottom of the image:

Them squid are nice! Good stuff big dog
