Fishing Victoria Forum

Decided quite late in the day to hit the sand for a quick spin. Right on the stroke of high tide, found them up the far end of the beach. As per normal, small 45 gram busted lure doing the damage.

I almost snuck down there myself, but I couldn't warm up enough to throw the shorts on.

Nice! Do you fish the far end to get away from the crowds?

There's a significant little rock outcrop about 2km cape schanckward from the carpark, with a gutter on either side of it. That thing is a salmon magnet.

Pretty much. Too many bait fishos, too many surfers in the first couple of hundred metres. Once you get past that lot, just cast and retrieve as you walk until you find the fish. Notable that yet again, the fish weren't sitting in a rip, or deep water. Quite a flat washy section.

I pretty much walked left and cast all the way up to the rocks and back on Friday, casting in the shallow wash as well as the gutters but came up with nothing. Definitely be back soon.

Some beauties there mate!
Well done
Cheers

Ripper session!
Well done!

Great work Carl , lucky to have that water in your backyard

Another session at the local yesterday.
Tried in the morrning for zip, went back in the arvo, and right near dusk, got one up near the far end.
30 mins later, and in the last of the light, got another.
The second was down deep, i deliberately let the lure sink to the bottom, then cranked it back slowly, and bang.
They are definately not chasing lures hard at the minute, and seem to respond more to a falling lure, or one moved really slowly. If I could get a plastic out far enough, that would probaby smash it i reckon.
