To celebrate Melbournians being able to fish again i decided to go fishing at one of the regularly stocked lakes to swim a lure or 10. It was quite busy as expected with news of rainbow trout up to 7kg being recently stocked in there. Found a nice little spot that wasn't too crowded and started pepp...

Decided to go early this morning before the easterly freshened, and see if the KGW were here yet. Short answer is no. Water is still a bit cold. Around 15c but getting there. All was not invane though. An hour in the channel off Nungurner produced 10 school whiting. I kept 8 of them that were large ...

Thought I would take a look for flatties along the beach this morning. Headed over the bar at daylight and went just 1 mile to the south. Stopped in 18 meters and sent a Pilly and some squid down. While rigging up a second rod the first one started nodding up and down. I gave it a moment then a quic...

They need to take a serious look at restoring intertidal zones. The wide areas of sandy tidal zones have been progressively covered over by retaining walls and back filling.

This setup focus is forever a work in progress and is always being upgraded to improve functionality. This setup is convenient, light weight...

Following what's been a horrific year in Melbourne, and a consequent 2 week delay when my car blew up, I finally made it away to attempt to open the 20/21 LBG account. Working at Aboslute until 9pm on Wednesday night, I -thought- I was organised enough to get up and get moving at stupid AM on Thursd...

Hey folks. The whiting are really firing at the moment even though there are a LOT of boats around. It appears that late afternoon sessions are more successful than daytime. Whilst the good old pipie is still a favourite, we have been doing well on mussel and green (raw) prawn. Surprisingly we haven...

Went out last night. End of the slack/start of the run in. 29 between 3 of us. Nearly all on prawn.

St Leonards has been going good, plenty of kgw being caught at night along quite a few horse mackerel collecting under the lights. Squid are around, but not as active as it has previously been a few months ago. Still worth bringing a squid jig. You can still get some nice fish in the day, garfish h...
