queenscliff and the rip
A mate went on a charter at the heads over the weekend and got his first kingie. I decided to have another crack myself. We were on the water at 7 headed out to the heads it was like burke street worse than snapper season. After 2 hours of fruitless jigging where we only caught bluethroat wrasse and leatherjackets and feeling knackered we decided to drift for squid.
It was slow going this week a few small ones the a couple of crackers. Eventually the squid slowed down so we decided to head back to the rip and jig on the way back a school of salmon was busting up so we quickly tied on some slugs and cast away but no takers I had some really small slugs once we put them on we started to catch them we kept a couple for bait they were great fun.
Another boat was also following the school an evolution my mate who is a north fan told me it was ben cunnington and madjak daw and some one who I can't remember he was impressed.
We never got back to jig so maybe next time, or cape woolami

Re: queenscliff and the rip
Too bad on the kings but looks like some decent action. Nice chunky salmon.
Cast, catch and put it back

Re: queenscliff and the rip
A few of my mates went out and told me they did well on both Friday and Saturday last week. They went back out again on Tuesday but didn't get anything.
