Mornington Rocks.

Post by vinhii » Mon Jun 20, 2011 5:40 pm

Hi guys Anyone here fish on the rocks at mornington?

I recently went bout 2 weeks ago after coming from sorrento.
( i caught a big port jackson shark at sorrento the week before id say bout 110cm was the biggest ive ever seen )

So headed to Mornington Rocks saw alot of boat activity so headed down there... it was calm nice sunny day stayed from 12pm - 4pm , Had couple nibbles and as i put my rod down i had a big hit! Caught a 43cm aus salmon , kept trying but no luck

Ive also caught big king george whitings there before.
PLENTY!! of FISH!! in the SEA!! but so little TIME!!!

Great to hear someone has caught a decent salmon, have you ever tried for squid off the rocks there?

Do you go spearfishing around canadian bay? We speared a big flatty there in March, and also numerous LJS.

Im not sure where that is? but i have died from near safety beach all the way around to the point.
Plenty of leather jackets there like 5-10 every 20 metres or so they were everywhere,..There were two massive barracuda looking like fish outt far in the distance always to our left scouting us but we cant shoot them cause they were always really far from us we could only just see them.
