offshore Lakes Entrance for Easter
So if you are down for Easter and need an idea where to go.
Pipeline 26mtrs has been ok, a bit patchy you need to put the time in. We tried the tower on the beach for a gummy or flatty, it was lunchtime by the time we went there and did no good. However if you are down early over Easter it might be worth a look as it is the full moon, but if it was me I would try out wider. 3-5mile wider at the pipe.
We had a few pinkies and one good snapper straight off Metung in 38mtrs today, only half the distance to the pipe so worth a go there if you don't want to go further down.
Last week tried out at 4 mile 6 mile and 8 mile South East of Lakes did no good at all, so the great run we have had out there seems to have stopped for now.

There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

Re: offshore Lakes Entrance for Easter
I'll be there tomorrow night until Monday in my little tinny. Weather looks to be good right through besides Friday night!
When people say 3 mile / 6 mile reef etc, is that measued nautically straight from the entrance or is it down the coast? Also pipeline, seen it referenced a lot. Where is it roughly? Can anyone link a chart map or rough coordinates? Sorry hardly ever fished off lakes before

Re: offshore Lakes Entrance for Easter
Pipeline isn’t territory for a little tinny it’s about off loch sport down the coast. They are marked on navionics. Not sure on other mapping. The 6 mile. No idea guessing it’s 6 miles out. Never bothered checking how far out it is. Just motor for a bit than send the pick downKimtown wrote:I'll be there tomorrow night until Monday in my little tinny.

Re: offshore Lakes Entrance for Easter
Pipeline is 15 nm west of the entrance. 4,6and 8 mile are south east of the entrance. Straight offshore.

Re: offshore Lakes Entrance for Easter
Got a nice 47cm blue spot this morning and a couple junk fish.
Got no idea what I'm doing off lakes though. Couldn't find reef lol
