Fishing Victoria Forum

Yea I was going off the beach because the groynes were completely swamped. Have caught them off the beach before but yea way too windy to be comfortable, that’s for sure

Hey Guys, So I have found out from a few people that apparently when there is a westerly wind blowing (Fishing landbased from Hampton) it is meant to be great fishing for pinkies. I rugged up tonight and braved the 20-30knt west north westerly and didn’t get one touch for 2 hours. It was super hard ...

Thanks heaps guys! I’m going to give the rock groynes a good go first then will start to explore further away. As I don’t have a car yet.

Hey Guys, I have read a lot of this forum because I’m very new to Melbourne and I want to chase my first snapper. I don’t mind if I have to target pinkies any will do. I read that it currently isn’t snapper season but then I read somewhere else that they have a second run of snapper around this time...
