First day out after repaint, What a day it was 18mtr off mornington, snapper were in fine form, screamers!!!!!!!!! some fish were steam trains!! fishing bream gear, couldn't turn them! landed one fish 6.2kg, a few about 3-4kg and plenty of smaller fish. We reckon we caught in excess of 50plus snapper. Didnt matter what bait we threw out, we were soo desperate we were catching gars for bait cutting in half straight back out. There was me, my bro, my boy and my niece, we kept 5 fish each. Didnt need anymore, lots of little pinkies, we kept only 4 good fish, one each, and smallest pinky we kept was 34cm. Was out of control all day!

Cheers guys, it was best day fishing in a long time!!triple hookups etc. i have not seen snapper so agressive in years, first runs were like a big gummy. i will give you all a hint on where to fish mussel farm ansett region, berley is very important, took us an hour before mayhem started, amongst kids trying to catch gars, rebaiting, missing fish, untangling lines, kids and floats grrrr. letting them pull in snapper and other rods screamimng off, never been soo stressed catching snapper in my life! lol. all caught in a 4 hour period, we left them biting, no bait, and gars went off bite, even tho they are in plague proportion

Hi Borntofish

Nice catch

I fished the back of the mussell farm of mt martha with no luck, I didnt know there was a farm of ansetts???
Think I sounded up for 3 hrs in all when we finally found a promising spot we dropped the lines I think within 2 minutes my old friend sammy the seal rocked up tio wreck the day fished cala's and salmon after that.

Cheers

Hi Dyll, I went out again on tuesday fished different tides, only caught 2, biggest was 7kg, my personal best for port phillip!! this time of year, fish the edge of the shipping channel off mt martha, my mates been bagging out regularly using silver whiting! As you come out of mornington pier, go sw, you can"t miss the big yellow markers!! for the mussel farm, I was unaware too, untold i was given the tip!!

Hi Borntofish

Nice work on the 7kg they give a great fight !!!
Thats the mt martha mussel farm ansetts is to the north of the mornington ramp heading back towards frankston, I was at the mussell farm on saturday as well probably 250 metres of the back of it, no love that time but earlier in the year I picked up a 5kg and 7kg off there. Its a good spot

Cheers

Dyll
