lorne reports

So looks like the beach in front of town is quite shallow for quite a way out. Not being a surf caster I didn't like my chances so tried the rocks to the right.

The only bit that looked fishable was full of surfers, gave it a crack further along but it was snag city. Think I got one decent bite, but got reefed straight away.

Also, Azkay, when you say the rocks to the right of the pier, do you mean the ones you can see from the pier or are they further around? The ones visible from the pier look a bit hairy haha. I have a couple of hours to kill before lunch so might pop down to the pier again, and check the rocks out if nothing's happening

Sorry about the late reply, just manage to get on, hopefully its not too late.. Abit further up, you'll find some easily accessible ledges about 5-10 minute drive up and there's almost always a few there fishing.. & before Lorne, there's Cathedral Rock, heard a few guys did well up there recently..

All good mate, I'll try it next time, not a huge amount of sambos, biggest I got is probably a bit over a kilo, heaps of grass whiting, silver trevs and tommys to keep me entertained tho.

I've fished the Jump rocks with a friend on Sunday morning 7/08/16 for big fat donut. It was low tide, used various baits and also tried spinning lures. We had only a single hit for entire session and that's all. There was few more anglers over there but they share the same donut with us. Well, there is always next time.

Thanks for the update mate. Like you said there is always a next time :thumbsup:

I've been there the last couple of weeks too, been extremely slow-going. Maybe i wasn't able to find the fish..

it has been very quite on the lorne side

Bancoora Beach has been fishing well on the last 2 hours of the high tide for Salmon if you are after a closer option on the surf coast

tourists asking "have you caught anything" every 5 minutes

Walking back up Gunnamatta with about 20kg of salmon on a string, a lady no sh1t asks carl 'did you catch those fish?!'

No, they are delivered into the dunes by a magical salmon fairy that we trade the cuttle fish we collect on the way up the beach for salmon with.

how about those walkers that just started picking up adz's fish and walking away with them. "oh we thought they'd just washed up"
