Barwon Heads

Headed down to Barwon River, Barwon Heads on Sunday around 8.30am. It was wet, cold & windy. The tide was low but the current was strong. We managed to hook 5 legal size breams (29-36cm) and about a dozen mullets. (We also released 5 undersize breams). Had to leave around 2pm as the tide got high and the weather got more nasty.

Please post more Barwon Heads reports here.

First time poster, love the forum!

Now Im very inexperienced so dont go grabbing your pens for this one:

Spent a few hours today trying my luck around Barwon river both upstream and at the mouth, tide was going out like a torrent. Some decent bites here and there but Caught nothing but weed.

Thats my third go in the area and im struggling to get on top of the current ive tried both running sinker and other rigs nothing is going my way.

Targeting kgw or bream and open to any advice.

running sinker can be ok for both, but remember to fish as light as possible. both fish spook easily and can be finicky with bait. try a running sinker on your main line with a swivel and leader and also try having the sinker run right down to the hook. its basic but it catches fish!

basically just do some research on the web, look at fishing rigs, how their caught, what others use for bait and how they fish for them. they will bite it soon enough.

also for the whiting try a paternoster rig. so the bait is presented well. and you might catch two fish at once.

hope that helps
