A month or 2 ago I've caught a similar species at Portarlington, land based, on whiting rig. It was around 50-60cm. First I thought it was some sort of sea snake but with little investigation on the net with much clear picture and video I've found out it was "Shorthead Worm Eel"! Apparently its common in PPB, could it be the same or similar kind of eel?

Feel like mine can be an ornament at times
Good to know I'm not the only one....after a month of trying to get out, I finally managed to hit the water on Sunday with the family. Magnificent conditions, unfortunately we had a bruised knee and seasickness within minutes of launching. A lot of time and effort for 30 minutes on the water. This weekend look pretty average as well :oops:

Solo fishing is looking a lot more appealing....when are the snapper going to fire up again? (blinked and I missed the season this year)

I'm off to a shocker this year, turbo issues mean I wont be towing anything too far until I can get it fixed. Any tips where the Kingfish will be hiding in WPB? ;-)

I’ll start sniffing around early next week for those I hope.
But they can pop up anywhere.
