Boat ramp suitability in Central Vic.

Went on a bit of a drive yesterday to check out some nearby lakes and water storages near me. Tullaroop ramp is out of the water and i would suggest that unless you have a 4wd i would not attempt to launch here. Ground after ramp is reasonably solid, but having those two extra wheels as insurance is...

Re: Land based structures at Point Henry

Cheers guys. Sounds like more trouble than it’d be worth so I’ll give it a miss. Would be fantastic if they opened the warf to land based fishers, thing goes out a long way. Years ago they opened Point Cook pier to anglers on a trial basis. The pier was turned into a tip. The straw that broke the c...

Re: Big Bully Mullet

Used to see big schools of these fishing the Werribee river years ago.
The water used to literally boil there were that many.
Never managed to catch one.
In hindsight, you could of almost ran a net across the surface to catch them.

This is the most treacherous beach i've seen in Victoria. Treat the water with respect.
You are right, as I said in my earlier post.
Stupid as it sounds, that to me is part of it's appeal.
Nothing comes easy at Johanna.

Which side did you fish the left side or right side (apollo bay direction) part of coach road.
Fished the Apollo bay side. The other side had heaps of surfers.

Re: Johanna Beach Report.

It's a shame you didn't fish it on monday when it was heavily overcast and a bit of rain. If it was sunny yesterday that's why you didn't catch much, particulary at the times you fished it. High or low tide at sun up or sun down would have been better, I love that beach Your right about my times no...

Johanna Beach Report.

Did a day trip yesterday to Johanna. Fished the incoming time from 10.30 to 1330 and an hour after that. Lots of small salmon, and I mean small. Baits were squid, pippy and chicken fillet. Every time I fish this beach it seems to get deeper! Had a surfer 100 yards or so from us enter the water and e...

10hp auxiliary on a 4.2mt boat seems a bit big...the transom will sit pretty low in the water with the extra weight
Yup, that was my thought as well.
Have a marine mechanic who is going to do the fitting of the 9.9 for me.
He assures me that it won't be a problem.
9.9 weighs just over 30 kgs.
