Fishing Victoria Forum

hi guys,

I am new to this hole fishing thing. Have just purchased a boat and are planning to go for a run tomorrow. Nothing serious just go out for an hour or so and see how she goes.

I was planning on putting the boat in a Patterson river around 11am and target flattys, I went to tackle world today and purchase some squidgies whip bait soft plastics and some 1/8 jig heads.

Was just wondering what depth to fish in and where about to go?

Cheers in advance

Any good advice to fish around this time of the year at Patterson River land based?
Planning to give it a try there tomorrow.
What will we be able to target?
Is it tides dependent?
Hook size and baits used?
Thank you.

if you havent used soft plastics before i would suggest you use a 1/4th jighead as a minimum.
and make sure your rod and line can cast this sized jighead.
as for how deep im not entierly sure.
i walays have some luck catching flathead at mornington, straight out the front from the pier in about 12m, they are all smaller sized fish, but always a few legals here and there.

Thanks mate. I'll have to get some 1/4 jigheads

fishing for flathead keep your jighead /soft plastic hitting the bottom with small hops while reeling in
