Fishing Victoria Forum

With perfect conditions forcast for last Saturday me and the brother-in-law decided to get out early and see if we could get some decent snapper from the reef. When we headed out wide past the gas rigs a couple of weeks back we noticed what seemed like some decent fishing ground in around 40m of wat...

After spending 3 days at sea at Bermagui, for no fish in the freezer, I was fired up to go fishing when I got home. Monday I did my normal early morning swim and bike ride and was getting ready to go fishing when we had a coast guard call out. After heading offshore and providing fuel to a goose tha...

The best of the flathead fishing close to the bar is to the west. Usually fish on the bank that runs from 10 to 15 mtrs. You will find them anywhere from just over the bar to 20 miles down the west. Mostly in the warmer months when the water temp is over 15 deg. To the east of the bar it can be a bi...

There must have been 150 boats at the ramps in Lakes this morning. Great Autumn weather and everyone keen after the fishing ban.
This young fella had a good day.

Back this afternoon for a go at the whiting. Lots of school whiting and a a few KGW. One monster at 44cm.

Suitably motivated by some of the above posts and being fairly local, and in enforced semi retirement these days , I made the trip across from Paynesville to the Metung area yesterday before the sea breeze kicked in . Far too lazy to get up at the crack of dawn so we fished 11- 4:30 pm. Started acro...

I went today early to try and get away from all the speedsters ploughing up and down. Just a few school whiting and small KGW. Going tomorrow after lunch to see if I can do better.

Good idea mate.

This is me.

Promised to sell the old boat before buying the new one (a year ago) but that didnt happen so I can be seen afloat now and then in either of these. Both quite distinctive: older Quintrex Fishabout and more recent RaeLine 186. Be warnerd though, that any attempt to engage in conversation will result ...
