Stockyard Point

[Matt321]

Thought I would post and give a bit of info on my latest few trips. Hit up stockyard a couple of times the past 2 weeks (4 to be exact) and been looking to target a few gummys. The first time was interesting as it was my first attempt at fishing the area so it took a while to figure out the place. The first trip was doughnuts unfortunately but a lot of good bites. The second trip we tried a new bait and fished right down to the low tide and ended up with success at a 71 cm gummy! :thumbsup: . The third session was unfortunately doughnuts again but we are heading down again tonight for a session on low tide and hopefully come back with a few good gummys!
Baits have been fresh salmon, yakkas and squid. Landed the only gummy on salmon!

Any tips on fishing the area would be much appreciated!
Cheers!

Be bloody careful with the soft sand and don't fish it alone would be my 2 biggest tips.
Also, try Banana Prawns, the gummies in that area hit crustaceans, and a peeled prawn tends to work wonders. take the head and tail off, peel it till u have almost a white sausage, then hook it round a 5/0-6/0 circle.

How do you get to stock yard point? Don't you have to use ferry?


Thanks

If you don't have a boat, then you have to walk.

Travel down the Bass Highway until you see a sign pointing Jan Jerrup, travel along the road until you reach a T intersection, turn left until you reach a car park, then you have to walk about a kilometre.

The aim to is to get there a little bit before low tide, fish until the tide starts rising and then trudge all the way back.

As longshot said, and DON'T take short cuts when walking there.

Travel down the Bass Highway until you see a sign pointing Jan Jerrup,( Bay Rd ) travel along the road until you reach a T intersection, turn left until you reach a car park, then you have to walk about a kilometre.

Bay Rd is the second rd to the right after going under the Gippsland hwy over pass
