Fishing Victoria Forum

Hello everyone, done a bit of fishing since I was a kid but to be honest, I always found shore fishing quite a chore. Mind you, rock fishing was quite stimulating. Finally bought myself an old Swiftcraft Seagull a few months ago, and had it out on the water (Westernport) for the first time a couple ...

Thanks Sebb. I've been looking at some of those but cannot find one that shows this exact format for entry. After some more Googling I'm fairly confident the format of the three numbers are DEGREES MINUTES DECIMAL (of the minutes), or the DDM format (degrees and decimal minutes). If that's the case,...

Thanks everyone. Yep, already wanting a bigger boat LOL, especially since I put a 108 litre ice box in. Wow, where did my deck go, although it did give me an extra couple of seats. I've just removed the drivers seat to give a bit more space as it was too low anyway. Replaced it with a box I stand on...

Some of what I've read/watched are: Don't fish in the weed, fish on sand patches just outside the weed. Keep quiet when in shallow water as Whi...

Just completed this berley bucket but it's as yet untested. Still thought I'd just show you in case you wanted a laugh. The cord is Dyneema, and rated at about 120 kg, but it's very thin. I'm guessing braid may be made of this. Got it off Ebay, and I think it gets used on big kites a lot. Hopefully ...
