also, does anybody know how to catch pike/barracouta?

i have caught pike/snook when trolling for salmon just off raff base jetty at point cook.
I troll at walking speed and every now n again put boat in netural for a few secs. i do this with harbody diving lures depth 2 to 3 meters (they float) .

Thanks for that AVG_Fisho, do you wind the slug fast like fishing for salmon?

Generally yes, But mix up the retrieve speed if you arent getting any.

You can troll metals around for them too, I believe at around 5 knots.

Also, each one my Dad an i Have caught lately has had 1 or 2 bigger and a few smaller ones follow the one we hooked up to the boat, so if you are fishing with 2 people it's a good idea to get the second person to cast behind you.


Cheers.
