The bottle one at the bottom should be fine as far as i'm aware, just make sure the opening diameter isn't greater than 5 cm and the bottle isnt bigger than 25x25x50cm. Write your name and address on it as well.
In case i'm wrong or missed anything the bait trap regulations are here - https://vfa.vic.gov.au/recreational-fis ... ine-waters

Brightons not the best spot for mullet, i'd stick your traps in about a foot of water at sandy anchorage at low tide, or in the yarra around the westgate bridge.

what are you gonna use for the squid? squidding at brightons been pretty slow recently.
