Re: Mornington pier report
Not a lot caught but still well time spent I'd say. How's your arm?

Re: Mornington pier report
There's still a few yakkas and tommy roughs around, good fun on light gear but not easy to catch. Go really light, unweighted with tiny hooks. I think I talked to you on new years day.
You need to stay away from those underwater green lights that everyone is using there, I don't know why people use them.

Re: Mornington pier report
Good tips
Probably for squid, they are attracted to light.

Re: Mornington pier report
Those are longfin pike. You can catch them at the edge of the light, run a metal slug or SP, let out about 10cm of line from your rod tip, and stick the whole rod into the water and wave it around doing figure 8s.e.welch wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 3:43 pmThe green lights attracted heaps of yakka but they just wherent feeding at all they just sat in the lighteddyt wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 12:25 pmThere's still a few yakkas and tommy roughs around, good fun on light gear but not easy to catch.

The yakkas really really hate the green light. They completely stopped biting when the guy next to me turned on his light. Moved spots away from the light and started catching again straight away. It's strange, those guys with the green lights are still targeting yakkas, not squid.

Re: Mornington pier report
It’s said to attract squid and smaller fish there isn’t really many prawns in port Phillip bay I don’t really know it’s probably best to ask someone that uses themann.tancred wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 11:11 amwhat is the green light used for. Is it on a prawn light or something? I've never heard of people using green lights before?
