bait
Re: bait
There were a fair few slimeys or yakkas at stony point last week when I wandered down for a flick. They were under the light at the first lower landing on dusk. I was fishing for squid but judging by how fast they were swimming, my guess is they were mackeral. I realise the OP asked for PPB locations but I havent heard of any being caught there lately. Driving to stony point is about the same distance as driving to mt martha from the city.
When I got time,
I wet a line cos Im a junkie,
been fishin since a kid,
I like it cos it numbs me..

Pretty good place to catch them. Pilchard flickbaits work well!!shazdoggg wrote:There were a fair few slimeys or yakkas at stony point last week when I wandered down for a flick.

Linc- "slimeys are great fun to catch, like hooking a giant vibrator with a propeller onto the end of your rod! Well done"

Hrm, stony point isnt very far for me so I might just give it a crack. Can you catch them at night? Or is it more of a daytime/dusk thing?shazdoggg wrote:There were a fair few slimeys or yakkas at stony point last week when I wandered down for a flick.

Would just be handy if I could pop down after work and stock up on some bait for snapper season lol

They turn up around sorrento pier from time to time, but I wouldn't be setting my watch by them..Scraglor wrote:Hrm, stony point isnt very far for me so I might just give it a crack.

Last week was the first time Ive fished stony pier, so no authority on the subject, but Ive caught countless yakkas and slimeys at night in WP and PPB. When fishing LB, I find they usually come close to land during dusk and leave just after dawn. Exceptions to this would be mornington pier for example, where the depth is heaps deeper and you can often catch them throughout the day. Have caught plenty of mackeral during the day in boats/yak(10m+). Depending on conditions I like to fish unweighted or under a small float but sabiki rigs also work well IMO.
