Sandringham 21/4
Live report. Sandringham.
Been fishing since 1:30pm, was hoping a flathead or whiting but caught tons of undersized pinkies instead. Yes they're still around. But.... Caught two of 29cm and 32.5cm. One on fresh squid caught at Mt Martha yesterday and the other on surf popper!
Now I'm out of bait, darn those undersized pinkies!
Saw couple flashes in the sky... That's it, I'm out of here.
Two young couple said fishing in the morning and caught whiting and flathead.
Dont think I will get any whitings this year... I want whitings!
Not complaining about the two pinkies though. Mrs be happy.

Re: Sandringham 21/4
Not bad on a surf popper. Can’t say I’ve caught a pinkie on a popper before.
You fishing from the sandy breakwall right now?

I've caught 1.5kg snapper off the beach on the left, that was spring 5 yrs ago I reckon, lol.
Usually I fish port melb in spring, closer to home.
Oh forgot to mention, there was a big hit that my 9ft daiwa lateo and 3000 reel were buckled over the rod holder, but I got too late as I was pulling another fish on the other rod. Would've been a good pinkie.

Yea sounds like it might have been a nice pinkie. Got some really chunky ones in the high 40s and low to mid 50s from there. Great take home size :thumbsup:

In terms of effectiveness, whats fresh caught squid vs tackleshop frozen squid strips like? would it be worth my while to buy a squid jig or two and have a flick around brighton pier?
