Tried 3 dif locations and squid, local sandworm, gulp sandworm, fresh prawns, pilchard and spider crab for f$cking nothing. Never fished at a place that's so dead. Yes the bad weather ain't helping but to not even get a touch? F$ckn c'mon. Can't wait to get home and catch some trout 2 minutes from home. Got 2 more days to try and see a whale but the fishing can get f$cked here.
Far out! That would **** me off too :down:

I lived at the bool for about 5 years i always got bream in the hopkins up near the uni.
And the breakwater itself was good even got a few crays on pilchard one day and saw the odd shark cruising past as well

Pulled stumps early. Missus not in good way. The drive home was interesting to say the least.

Not a bite. I would say I spent 20 hours fishing all up. Tried at night too but zilch return. I was told the fresh water pushes them down the system so I tried near the entrance and the break wall. Saw a guy land a 30kg piece of kelp.

When I fished there when I was a kid the fishing wasn't much better, it was pretty much just a holiday for the wife, it definetly wouldn't have been my 1st preference. I would have much preferred a trip to Tamboon inlet or Bemm river but yeah she ain't going too good so kept it a bit mainstream.
