Fishing Victoria Forum

Gday everyone, Fairly new to fishing, just starting out late last year. Haven’t landed too much, mostly just flatties and pinkies (and more Toadies than those two combined) I mostly fish saltwater off piers or sometimes off the beach. Hoping to get some good tips and advice, and looking forward to b...

Before you know it you be catching snapper in couple months

Hi, First time thinking of launching at Black Rock from a kayak. I'm not too sure where I should be fishing to find the squid. I know I should be ontop of grassy areas. Looking at google maps, should I be fishing around the pier towards the Cerberus? Or go further pass the Cerberus? Or try east? Or ...
