Fishing Victoria Forum

Nice report and great bream! I think I actually saw you crossing the road near the Crowne Plaza hotel Saturday arvo! That stretch has had very clear water lately (comparatively at least).

Great fishing! Is the river only kayak accessible or can you fish landbased as well @seniorfisho?

I’m thinking of subbing out the Bone OceanThug medium casting rod for something a little more affordable. Other options are: -Murasame Caranx PE2-5 stick bait 80 ($429) -Daiwa 20 Demon Blood s702-3/5 ($389.00) -Shimano Anthem 20ASW692SPMH 30-50lbs ($277.11) Anyone got any personal reviews of either...

Heavier leader for sure. I run 180lb to cast for GTs and 200lb for doggies, both in case the fish pull you into the reef and you need abrasion resistance.

Far right side of Koonya beach has some nice reefy ground with fish.

Watch swell and conditions though, I'd only recommend it if you know how to read conditions, and handle yourself in current and swell.
