Just a curiosity. I wonder on people's thoughts on how this lockdown will affect fish stocks in the lakes/rivers. With a fairly large drop in recreational fishers coming down do you think it may have a positive impact on breeding stock and growth rates? No correct answers & I suspect it couldn't be ...

Pettmans Beach has been fishing well for salmon this last week. The only obstacle to catching them was the howling winds which made casting virtually impossible. A little further east has some massive shoals of salmon working between Point Ricardo and Cape Conran. To find them, just look for the gan...

Almost went back down to McLoughlin's today but chose instead to fish Nungurner. Forecast light breeze turned out to be pretty stiff NE'ly by lunchtime making it very lumpy fishing across the runout. Not much action. Score for the 4 hr session was 2 KGW - 24 & 29 CM, a small trevally and a crown of ...

So mostly quiet still on the Board so thought Id post this short report from Mcloughlins Beach yesterday. Breezy day and a bit cold at 15 or so for shorts but a good day out. Tried a few spots for an early flatty with no joy other than this large Ray, (returned) and roamed the entrance for a sambo o...

I only had prawns for bait, as my supply of squid has been d...

The Barrier is the go now. 2-3 mtrs north side of the green markers

Coupla visits to MCL (and what feels like the other side of Gippsland at times as its a 300km round trip) during the last week. Saturday, nice weather forecast (sunny and calm) so fished 3 up in the offsiders 4.5 Bluefin open deck boat (so a bit of a squeeze) in the usual channels and 'hotspots' - w...

I have a mate up the road a bit,who is a keen Fisher but hasn't every chased or caught a whiting in the lakes. Asked him last night if he wanted to come out today. So he did. Picked him up at 7-30am ,we were fishing just after 8am. By 5 past he had his first KGW. It was a bit slow for a start. A sma...
