Port Albert Fishing Reports
hey all,
so I got to port Albert at around 4:30 yesterday. I was out on the piers by 4:50. I ran 2 bait rods and a lure rod. the current was strong and the water was choppy. I fished cut pilchards until it got dark and I had about 4 bites. it got dark at around 6:30. I got back to the place I was renting and set up one of my heavier rods with a whole pilchard and fished from the sure until 7:30. I didn't catch anything but it was still great.
I started today fishing the sure from 600 to 730. I didn't get anything but I am going to the Piers again later for a few hours, maybe the whole day if I can? I will use squid and pilchards and drop a sabiki rig for fresh bait if I can.
this is where all my port Albert reports will go, stay tuned

Re: Port Albert Fishing Reports
i just got back from fishing, 4 hours and a 23 cm flathead where all that was caught. it was low tide when I got back to the rental house and I collected some crabs and other creatures for bait. i got some red crabs and some European shore crabs. i got some mussels from the pier.
i am here for 2 more days, until Sunday.
i am thinking of doing some fishing at high tide just where I got the crabs, any tips? they will be dead bait.
a full report will be out on Monday hopefully, I'm just writing quick snippets of my day. the full report will be detailed.

Re: Port Albert Fishing Reports
you are wasting fishing time gathering the wrong bait, you need a sand pump to get bass yabbies (one arm bandits) if anything... Go buy yourself a bag of pipi's and a bag of small bait size prawns keep them in a cool esky with ice to keep the bait in good condition you will get better results. Fish the incoming tide from the start, there's heaps of whiting around there.fisho999 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 2:34 pmi just got back from fishing, 4 hours and a 23 cm flathead where all that was caught. it was low tide when I got back to the rental house and I collected some crabs and other creatures for bait. i got some red crabs and some European shore crabs. i got some mussels from the pier.

Re: Port Albert Fishing Reports
If you don't mind me asking were the European Shore crabs killed prior to being used as bait?

Re: Port Albert Fishing Reports
100% mate, i wouldn't want it to be alive and somehow get off the hook, they were all dead when I used them for bait. the ones I didn't use were returned to the water dead. they are the saltwater carp I guess.
