Fishing Victoria Forum

Took the boat out after the long forced hiatus by Mr andrews.
got fisted bad with the weather with the predicted winds getting to 20knots it was quite a bit of a bumpy and wet ride.. the boat handled it well so its always a great thing..

Dad and myself got into a few pan sized pinkies and a couple of these brutes!!
This one being very very close to my PB..



Took me a good 20 mins to land and by then the school had disappeared. I was also out testing the new bait junkie soft plastics, needless to say they are working well on the local piscatorial population..
I also got a chance to test out the new x4 shimano kariki braid, so far impression are very good. Need to fish it a bit more to have a better opinion on it, for now its fairing quite well..

Hope to be out a bit more and give those plastics a good workout..

That’s a cracker of a fish mate. Pity you couldn’t find that school again.

Cheers mate, yeah we got towed and also drifted a fair bit due to the wind and by the time we were ready to cast again they were no where to be seen.
im happy at least i got to tussle with one Big Brute.
