Re: Western Port Monster
Did you even have to wait long for the bite? I mean there's plenty of big rays lurking around there. I feel it would be close to a guarantee to get one?

Just like all fishing, you have to be lucky. Have been there and caught nothing beforeKimtown wrote:Did you even have to wait long for the bite? I mean there's plenty of big rays lurking around there. I feel it would be close to a guarantee to get one?

Re: Western Port Monster
As far as I know... not too hard to make up some sturdy DIY ones that fit most piers.smile0784 wrote:Is it only that pier that has good rod holders?
Although if fishing for big stuff either have drag running loose or make them very very strong... because when big stuff hits they dont play nice as I am sure you know!
Hooked a 100kg+ ray the other day on my 1-3kg rod (foul hooked) it didnt even know I was there haha.
