Today I came back in about 6.30 pm and the crowd at the ramp had gone. Went out and anchored in 12 m off The Pines at 4.00 pm with a burley pot down and was kept busy by an assortment of small School Sharks, a couple of Banjos, a Port Jackson, a big ray that I broke off and finally a good Gummy to m...

Well two more KGW trips since my last post - tried the usual haunts and ended up with just 2 KGW around 36 cm each trip. Was fishing in the channel about halfway between the Barrier Landing and Flanagans Is when a huge school of Salmon errupted around the boat. Within just a few minutes every bird i...

Sorry I do not have a brag mat but on the gunnel I have a fisheries length sticker. As I was on my own a pic on the sticker was not an option.

Well my fishing week so far. An early morning run to the Barrier Landing Monday for 2 KGW at 36 and 37 cm and hordes of Toadies. Tried again early Tuesday for just 1 KGW about the same size. Thursday mid afternoon I had a wander around Rigby Is for zip and arrived at the barrier just before low tide...

Well I finally found a few decent KGW near the Barrier Landing today - they were were very timid and the Toadies were biting a lot harder than the Whiting. Bait was prawn. Anyway I ended up with 6 between 34 and 37 cm, lost a couple of decent fish, and released 2 around 30 cm. Many "micro moves" and...

Pirkz is sure killing them - managed another 2 decent KGW at the Barrier Landing area early in the week and now at home with Covid - the wind can blow all it likes for the next week or so!

I fished around the Barrier Landing and Fraser Is today and managed 2 KGW at 35 cm and lost a much larger one next to the boat. All caught on prawn. At last, finally, a couple of KGW! A few small salmon gave me false hopes but good gummy bait.

Thanks everyone - something I noticed now that the water is clearer was that some of the weed beds around Fraser Is and The Barrier have either gone or are much reduced. My favorite KGW honey hole - about a 12 m diameter sand patch surrounded by week - is now several times the size and the weed is n...

Just curious if anyone has managed KGW the past 2 weeks? I did a whiting trip last week between Lakes and Nungurner and surrounds for zero whiting but had fun with a school of Tailor. Gummy baits and burley sorted for a trip or two.

Great to see this stocking. Am sure Hughes Creek was well overdue for a top-up and some genetic diversity. A few of the other Goulburn tributaries that have isolated Macca populations could equally do with a top-up in years to come. VFA were all the brood fish from Dartmouth or were there some from ...
