Carrum 23rd April
Thursday 23rd report! Carrum
Have not reported for a while so thought I might get it going again, even if it is a negative!!
Headed out from Patto at 9am. Was looking for pinkies and went to the 18m mark. Sounded around but very few marks came up and only small ones at that. Gave it a try anyway. Squid was the bait and undersized pinkies was the result. Landed over a dozen with only one 1 going legal. I put him back as well seeing it wasn't enough for a feed!
Came in toward Seaford 12m and tried that. A couple more promising marks but no joy on getting a bite.
Headed back toward Patto and decided to drift in close for flatties. Managed 1 on a SP.
So came home with nothing after 4 hrs but still great day out!
Cheers!

Re: Carrum 23rd April
undersized still better than nothing.. and even no fish beats work...
If I'm not fishing, I'd rather be fishing!

Re: Carrum 23rd April
The little pinkies seem more ravenous than ever for this time of year vinalf I fish mainly along Mt Martha -Frankston inshore reefs and every bait , SP or troll lure gets eaten . Good to see I guess , just have to sort through em to get one to eat Cheers Mick

Re: Carrum 23rd April
yeah the sebile's work well, but my favourite is a flats rat made by Killalure ,then an old Rapala with the steel bib in blue mackerel not sure if they still sell em . Change the trebles over to in line singles and troll away. Have picked up snapper,flathead, snook ,squid, cutties, leatheries ,salmon, tailor and others along those inshore reefs it's good fun.

Have had massive success trolling for snapper up in Moreton Bay using Barra style lures (Wilson Slappers are awesome for it). Can't see any reason they wouldn't do just as well down here.

Have read of some reports of trolling for snapper in PPB but it seems the oddity. And I think the water temp has dropped to the point that all you would do is burn fuel for little result. Although on 2nd thoughts there are salmon around and it would probably pick up those as well.
Cheers
