westernport today
Launched at rhyll about 830 am took a mate and his wife out the aim to fish for flathead off kilcunda and maybe burley up a mako. When we got yo the eastern entrance it was rough big rollers the haines just ploughed through them but it didnt let up not the stuff for my mates wife to put up with for a few flathead.
We turned round and headed to the corals couta and yellow tail scad good for bait. We moved to a spot between ram island and elizabeth island I said to my mate this mark is called gummy I always catch a gummy here 30 mins later bang I am on and its a gummy 65 the measured length plus several pinkies best 42cm off the water at 3pm rsl for tea will try again tomorrow.

Re: westernport today
Day 2 launched at rhyll at 730 10k winds headed to the eastern entrance looks good headed down to where the wind farms are. The plan take my mate and his wife they have never been out the entrance, he has a haines 540 which he leaves at cowes but is a bit unsure of any offshore work.
We just drifted something easy for there first time a bit of touring round cape woolami. We ended up with 44 sand flathead the best 54cm, 8 sand whiting (kept for bait) plenty of couta mostly caught mid water on the retrieve. 2 very large and ugly drought board sharks. My mates wife hooked something played it for 25 mins only to loose it before we got a glimpse.I dont know about you but I dont care if I loose it but I want to know what it was.
All in all a great day on the water off at 3 have to drive back to melbourne work tomorrow.

Re: westernport today
For sure sand whiting I have caught them there before just outside the eastern entrance in 40 metres of water downsize your hooks 1, 0 circle hooks small piece of squid. In westernport you can catch 3 types sand kg and grass whiting,
