Fishing Victoria Forum

Went out from Rhyll for the grand final weekend in search of a big red.

Caught dozens of couta, and a couple of flathead and one 23cm red.

Water temp was 14.1-14.4 deg C.

Saw one good red caught in a nearby boat and 2 back at the ramp, hoping to get out next weekend to try again.

SA ban is nothing short of terrible. Everything I have seen indicates this is a band aid short sighted approach that will not address the root cause of the problem. Re vic snapper as has been found the key to snapper population is successful spawn and fishing has minimal if any impact on spawning. W...

Having cracked it hard at the footy I took off to JB early Weds morning with a view to getting a couple of decent sessions on one of the front ledges then at the Tubes. After 11 sets of roadwork, 4 accidents, a grass fire and pulling two junkies apart that were swinging at each other in the Gundy ma...

I'm all for upping the size limit to 35cm and a no take policy during spawning. But as already suggested. Keeping the environment they live and spawn in pristine condition is key.. and I must say vicfisheries are certainly putting in a lot of effort so good on them.. On another note.. Doesnt the fi...

Just a "well done" to members for the posts during the past week or so - lots of interesting reports and information and an absolute minimum of the argument and garbage that proliferates on so many internet and social media sites. Tight lines!

I went out from Paynesville today to see if there were any duskies around. There was only 1 other trailer in the car park when I launched the boat at 8.30 am so I did not get my hopes up that there was a hot bite going on. The water temp was 15.5 C which I think is still too cold. Tries all my usual...

When I saw the subject my 1st thought was, why in the hell would re-tyred be fishing at Patterson Lakes
Although he may have missed 6 mile reef by a bit
Cheers Gra

If the post was naughty, it wasn't re-tyred

Headed out over the weekend to chase some squid. we got our bag of squid, mostly ok sizes, some in the 30cm hoods. they came on hard in a small bite window again, so i didnt take any pics. still missed the krakens, so maybe next trip ill get lucky.. red foil jigs this time.. After Bagging out we dec...

Fellas. the weather was terrible, but i hope some of you got a chance to wet a line on Gone fishing Day i had the Obligatory fish to mark the day, the weather had other plans of course, 20knot winds in a small open boat was a terrible idea But we persevered and got onto around 15 squid. Didnt measur...

My nephew was keen to get some Snapper before the 3 year Snapper Ban starts next week, so Monday arvo was the go. Brother in-law, Nephew a myself trundled off to West Beach to a 4 - 5 km spot to see if we could get him some Snapper. We made a judgement call to go to a spot that we knew there were so...
