Hi guys/gals,

has anyone had any luck catching garfish around Port Phillip Bay lately?

My usual gar spots at the northern end of PPB haven't been producing and I am keen to catch some of these tasty little fish.
Thanx in advance!

Anyone else having any joy?

yup, yakka in Sorrento pier was thick last year, so was the cala. This year is disappointing in cala scene (LB)

I think there's too much snapper in the bay this year that they ate most of the cala ang yakka on their way in. :lol:

not PPB but I got this one one my whiting gear last sunday 23/12 at coronet bay Westernport
it took a no 6 circle hook loaded with a piece of prawn off the bottom

from now on there should be some big gars making there way into WP this one went 39.5 cm but this time last year there were plenty around the mid 30 cms

by the way it didn't go in the bait bucket we got 2 very nice boneless fillets and were realy nice in egg and breadcrumbs

i havent seen any gars at mordi pier for a long time now. when i moved here back in february they were everywhere. was catching a limit every time i went fishing. now i havent seen any for about 3 months i think. everyone i talk to at the pier says they were really thick there this time last year.
