Fishing Victoria Forum

Came across one of the strangest fishing stories I've ever read or heard of in my life. Now I know there's a few environmentalists against fishing out there, but this really is an odd way to make a point... https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-12-21/woman-bites-fishing-line-teenager-sunshine-coast/10179...

Docklands behind Marvel and along North Wharf. Maribyrnong River between Canning Reserve and Angler's Tavern. Kerferd Rd Pier at dusk. Portsea, Sorrento and Blairgowrie piers if you're happy to drive a bit further. All these places fish best on a rising tide in my experience, especially late afterno...

I suggest using a landing net next time. It can be a bit awkward reaching for a big fish with your bare hands. Easier to tire them out and then slip the net in behind them. Has never failed me, but then I've never gotten close to landing something 115cm long!

Used to love fishing the Nong around the Canning St bridge. Might have to give it another go soon if I can make the time for the right tide.
