Managed to sneak out early this morning before the weather got a bit rough for some kingies. Took about 60 kms before I had some luck and found a school. I got a double hook up first but lost both them so I went back to just one rod in the hand. The school stayed around for about 2 hrs.the fish were...

Dad and I headed out at 4pm yesterday from Frankston targeting squid and pinkies. We started at Oliver’s Hill for squid and although the strong SE made the drift awkward we still managed to get consistently large squid (large for Frankston anyway) with up to 30cm hoods. We got 20 in just over an hou...

Land based we keep out burley cages high in the water column helps prevent the banjo sharks and keeps the smaller pest species high above the bottom. They're a plentiful by-catch species and though they are less than ideal for eating they play an important role in our marine ecosystems. Without the ...
