Thanks for the report! My in-laws have just purchased a place in Paynesville with a mooring so I’m glad to see KGW on the doorstep!

Hopefully the skill set from Westernport transfers over smoothly.
Tell them the latest Navionics chart app is the guide to Gippsland lakes fishing. It's all about banks and drop offs. They can thank me for spending 3years of fine weather driving a jetski to survey the entire lakes system. :rf:

Haha that’s awesome! That whole area you fished looks the goods.

What is the go with tidal flow in the lakes? I can’t seem to find tide times for anywhere other than lakes entrance and not sure if it flows hard like Westernport or not?

Metung is the last place with any real tidal flow here in Painesville we get more water height changes due to wind than tidal influence

SW wind, higher levels at lakes Entrance. Lower level Lake Wellington.
NE wind, Higher lake Wellington. Lower Lakes Entrance.
In Lake King and Lake Victoria if you are looking for flow over a bank, fish on the down wind side.
