Fishing reports
Sometimes when I read some fishing reports, it like visiting another world.
This report by Steve Cooper claims;
"SURF fishers are enjoying a salmon bonanza along Victoria's surf beaches."
Mind you I haven't fished "From Mallacoota in East Gippsland around the coast to Bridgewater in the southwest, salmon are being caught in good numbers." and apart from 2 fishless attempts at williamson's beach, I haven't fished other east gippsland beaches.
then there is
"Squid to more than 2kg are being caught in Lonsdale and Nepean Bays, and from Blairgowrie and Portsea piers."
I have fished both Blairgowrie and Portsea piers and haven't landed a single squid.
Sure I know squid and salmon come and go, and to be successful a person has to be there at the right time, using the right technique and bait.
Generally fishing reports are yesterdays news. For example a person can spend all day at Gunna and be fishless, leave as someone else arrives and they could bag out in 30 minutes.

Re: Fishing reports
and you are still surprised? Everytime I go fishing, people tell me "you should have been here yesterday". Now I tell them the same thing even if I catch nothing. :tongue:

Re: Fishing reports
The end of the last century, I was fishing with my father, at Talbingo, we constantly bagged out. Nobody else in the caravan park had caught a thing.Fish-cador wrote:and you are still surprised?

One of those times when it all comes together.

Re: Fishing reports
July 16th, Saturday. NICE WEATHER! :super: :woohoo:
Went to Portsea for some surf fishing in London Bridge area. Nice gutters, waves not an issue. Fished the high tide. BIG seaweeds! :shocker:
Using only 1 rod, in 3 hours of fishing, I got 6 sambos up to 500 grams each and dropped a few in the breakers. Met a guy in the carpark with some monsters. My fish were minnows compared to what he got. Using 2 hands to hold the fish with thumbs touching, my middle fingers cant touch each other. That's how big the girt was. It was probably 3 kilos easy with his smallest catch safe within 1 kilo mark. Bugger, how did he snag those big ones? :dontknow
Went to Rye pier for some fun after the surf session. SPs were out in force. :fishing: There were about 6 of us spinning using SP and when the school of salmon came, it was chaos. The other anglers were casting and reeling like mad to catch as much fish as possible. I thought they were nuts. I took my time and enjoyed the fun. Then the fish disappeared. The action was over in less than 10 minutes. Now I know why they fished like maniacs. The old man told me that the salmon always arrive around 5PM-530PM, stay for a short period then disappear. The salmon was not big, only around 27cm but good fun on light tackle. I landed 2 from the pier, dropped about 6. The rest of the maniacs had about 10 each. A closer look at their jigs, they were using small jigs. They even cut their SP to make them smaller. I was using something too big for the size of the fish. Will be be back again when the weather settles.
No squid in Rye pier.
Next trip's weapon:
2 x surf gear
1 x spin gear with smaller jigs and SP.
Any news from Blairgowrie marina? Are the sambos around?
Went to port melbourne pier this afternoon, July 17. No hits on SP after 1 hours of casting. Any reports from Mordi?

Re: Fishing reports
All reports are that the Salmon are thick around Blairgowrie Marina, so much so, that a couple of blokes were nailing them from the beach(in the deep hole, where the dredge was last year).
Nice report and good luck on your next trip.
