Webb Dock - 15/6 PM
Posted: Sun Jun 16, 2019 11:54 am
Earlier on Saturday morning I took a beach walk past Princes Pier and further along to Webb Dock. The spot looked to have some promise even though the few fishos I stopped to chat with were all pulling donuts. With the missus working late that night I thought I could spare a few hours at sundown to see if the promise could turn to something tangible.
If you have never been to Webb Dock it is roughly 800mtrs of rock wall that surrounds the shipping contaier yard. On the eastern edge seems shallow'ish say 2-3 mtr with plenty of weedy shelters, seems a good mark for whiting or flatties. Around on the southern wall looks to go to about 4mtrs, of which I was hoping I could land a few salmon.
Well at 6pm it was glassed out, slightly warm, and easy enough conditions to put out 3 set lines all with pillies cause thats all I had in the freezer. So it pains me now to report that in the following 3 and 1/2 hours I amassed a staggering.... 3 bites. Thats 3 pissy tap tap bites, not rod benders....
so yeah, finding out the salmon were all down at Barwon explians the very poor showing at Port Melbourne on Saturday night. Oh well, at least the view was nice.
