What do you target over winter up there?

VB mostly.

Bloody well done I'd be happy to do that out of a boat let alone off the rocks . And off a 6000 stella. And here's me thinking you were a DAIWA saltiga bloke . Thank you. I also have an expedition 5500 and a 4000 and 14000 certate. Honestly the new certate is an absolute weapon and probably as good...

The weather is turning. The kings have slowed down. The current is running from the south and we're getting more and more Southerly winds and rain. I wandered out after work this morning looking for a relaxing afternoon on the ledge. We haven't seen a good fish for about a month now but I still took...

The one where Cam got stuck halfway down the cliff was a fun day

Then nearly died on the walk back out cos he'd brought 600ml of water and packet of twisties for a 20 hour trip.

I spent quite a bit of time hiking and rock fishing the Prom a few years back. You can read about / watch some of the adventures here. https://www.fishing-victoria.com/viewtopic.php?f=147&t=13175 https://www.fishing-victoria.com/viewtopic.php?f=147&t=14026 https://www.fishing-victoria.com/viewtopic....

I finished work at 11am yesterday and got out to the same spot for some more. Pretty ordinary conditions found me in a crosswind with a bit of rain as I was rolling up to the ledge, soaked head to toe from the only shower of the day on the 30 minute walk in. I could see some bustups and I was climbi...

Inspired by the weekends success, I returned the following Thursday out to the same spot in the rain. Messaging a friend of mine who fishes a bit from his boat, he agreed to meet me out there when he finished work. Pushing through the wet and heading out to the ledge about 3pm, I spent nearly an hou...

I know I don't post on here much anymore but I thought I'd try and write fairly regular reports about the LBG situation up here at JB. Watching the currents drift down the coast and the warmer water start to arrive, Cam, Sammy and I decided it was time to start putting in some significant effort off...

I quite honestly just use a fresh one every time I go fishing. I find after a salt water session the hooks tend to blunt enough to make it not worthwhile for the little ones in particular. The larger 'slimey slayer' type rigs I cut down to only have 2 flashers then tie a flutter jig or a glow metal ...

Don't take newbies rock fishing anywhere west of Cape Otway. The shelf is uncomfortably close and the swell is extremely unpredictable.

Beyond what's already been mentioned, Johanna beach is as good if not better than Gunnamatta and the odd jewie even get's landed there around this time of year.
