Anyone out there who arnt in lockdown been out for fish recently? Any snapper showing up yet?

I wouldn't worry about Snapper yet there's talk of another 2 weeks added to stage 4 so October may be the first we get out at them

Hi guys, I’m just wondering what the most successful lure that you have caught pike on is?.

I've used a few things - cheap shallow dive Storm lures - X raps and yo zuri - most things work my go to colour is silver with a black back trolled over any weedy bottom

just looking back I picked up my first early season snap out of Boltons channel mid September last year

my guess if we aren't in stage 10 lockdown by then around 3 more weeks Ill probably be paddling up around there

Read the DHHS site properly. It states you must not travel long distances to carry out these activities. heres the problem - what is the accurate distance of a long distance that we must not travel ( and not what you guess it is I would like to know the accurate measurement ) the guide lines also s...

While I have always been a right hand caster and winder I can see merritt in winding with the left - I have tried but it just seams wrong remember that many reels that were around when I started fishing didn't have LH wind options just a thought do you change hands when you are gaffing on netting yo...

staewide lockdown coming soon is what ive been informed.
288 odd cases today.

not sure if fishing will be taken away this time or not..

It will depend on where those cases are if they are more confined to the metro area it will probably just stay Melbourne metro If it’s more wide spread maybe
