nice fish, and good job on getting the ray wrapped around the rock!
Do you mind sharing where you buy the 3inch slim swimz? I've had my eye on them but I cant seem to find them

Anaconda (high point maribyrnong) has a good range of the 3 inch slim swims

Hi guys,
Saturday I was free for the whole day, so I got out of bed a little early and went to beaumauris pier. I was there from 7:30 - 9:30, and went there with some plastics and squid jigs. A few awesome blokes were catching gars, and they were getting a lot as well. I didn't bring my gar outfit, so I stuck to lures. I caught a nice bream at 32cm, no pics cos it was pretty beat up and I wanted to get it back in ASAP. There was a school of squid around 15-20cm hanging around the pier but I couldn't temp them into taking one of my jigs, similarly with a school of salmon that was feeding on some baitfish. I also caught a KGW at 34cm, which was a nice surprise
All fish caught on a zman 2.5inch grub in Watermelon Red

Later in the day I went to Brighton, and was there for 2 hours, leaving just before the big blow. Nobody was catching anything but I caught a pinky at 20cm and missed a few other bites. I might switch to a smaller lure...
Lure used: 4inch zman streaks curly tail in Bad Shad.
Cheers

I'm going to try Brighton pier today. Will be my first time. Been reading threads on breakwall as a target area? Anyone have tips for where to also target squid there and other species tips be appreciated as I'll be new here.
