Hey everyone, Reporting on the last three weeks of fishing and observations from this end of the Bellarine. Last two weeks we've noticed decreased squid numbers and activity during the day and peak dawn/dusk. We've gone from large numbered squads moving in on the tide/wind change to more singles or ...

After much deliberation I decided to head out yesterday afternoon. I got to my spot at precisely 4.10pm in 12m of water, burleyed hard and set the rods. About 20 minutes later I landed this beautiful fish which came in at 5.2kg. In 6 days thats the third fish I've caught in that range so I'm not goi...

I fished out of Paynesville week before last (as well as Mallacoota, lake tyres and off shore from lakes entrance) chasing flatties on SP. let me just say it was very hard going. A lot of effort was put in and some long days for very little reward. We couldn’t even raise a feed off shore as we were ...

Technically not first cod trip since opening but im calling it that anyway for the report narrative. The first attempt at cod this season was last sunday on the yarra - 1.5hrs on the water which was marred by the downpour we got, seb + his mate joined and i reckon we would have been lucky to get 50 ...

Hey Everyone, Reporting on all the action at St Leonards in the first third of December. Squid are still actively being caught though they have decreased in numbers and are smaller in size. Evenings seem to be outperforming mornings and the constant winds have pushed the squid deeper and further out...

Hey Doug did you go for the 20000 instead of the 25000 due to the size and extra weight of the 25000. When my gear was stolen 1 10000 a 20000 and a 25000 I replaced them with 2 x 10000 and a 25000. I use them off my boat where as you are LBG fishing. For me the I use the 25000 switchbaiting and pit...

G'day fellow fishos, been a while since I've posted a report to share. Busy work n family commitments as most of us here would understand can really limmit our fishing trips. But i managed to secure a few hrs with friends last weekend at the Pier. All of them are amateurs and I was just trying to ge...

Hi All, After the interest a bunch of you showed earlier in the year on my failed worlds quest, I thought I'd make a quick post. On Saturday Dec 21, After fighting 60 X 3 minute rounds with a fresh opponent each time and no breaks, I was awarded my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Professor Thia...

Hey Everyone, January is nearly done and dusted and as the tourists are quieting down the fishing is perking up. Squid are remaining active during the rising and setting sun while smaller numbers are being caught during the day. The heavy rains have pushed the squid into deeper water as they dislike...
