Where is Quail Bank???

Post by Scraglor » Mon Jan 09, 2017 6:11 pm

Hi Guys (and Gals)

Looking at finding some new ground for whiting/squid over the coming months, and I am seeing a lot of good reports from Quail Bank. I know this info is probably very easy to find, but I have googled and cant seem to see where it is. Not asking for spots or info etc (Although that would be great :P ) but I am just after a rough area so I can look up charts, do some sounding, and put some hours in to try and find them.

Thanks in advance for any help ^_^

Top end of westernport. The northern bank between yaringa channel and warneet channel.

Very squiddy looking. Fished it a few times and never done much good there though. It's similar the tortoise head bank in as far as you can you a fairly long drift there. A bit shallower though.

Precisely.

Who knew Quail Island was the third biggest island in Western Port?

Come on scraglor, there's a fairly large island named quail island on every map with a giant area of mud and weed between it and water at low tide. If everything aligns you can drift the length of it from Warneet channel to yaringa channel
