A great isolation evening fishing

[fishnut]

Think i will isolate myself this evening around wedge spit

My neighbour been fishing there, he said there's still whiting biting there. Good luck!

Well the isolation worked and i feel better now after scoring 15 nice tings
They went nuts for an hour just before dark

well my isolation morning went well. just finished filleting 15 blue spot flatties in the 35-55cm range, plus 3 Taylor. So the grand-kids won't starve this week.

I just had mine, cooked in batter. Two dipping sauce. Sweet and sour and Balinese sambal.
Scrumptious!
Most important, Mrs is happy!

Nice work Seb. What area do you launch from? I just bought a yak and wouldn't mind giving it a go in the salt on a nice calm day.

Cheers, Anth

Campbell's cove beach.
I fish common places nowadays, especially on a yak. No secret.
There's been good captures of flathead from Altona to Werribee.

Though places can determine the species, to me, it's more of the technique etc than the place. Even two persons fishing next to each other at the same spot and time may have different results. Like my mate there who tried with 1/32 jig head and 2" grub, and failed. He's onto them straight after he changed to 1/8 and 4" plastic.

If you're new on a yak and fishing the bay, choose a low wind day, offshore is ideal. E.g. Altona is good and safe to fish on Northwest wind.
If you could, I suggest fish with an experienced mate on your first time on the yak.

Cheers Seb. Was more looking for where i could park and don't have to drag the yak a long way. Have you ever fished around all the moorings at St kilda?

Hi Anth, if you are anywhere near altona, the beach access ramp at the end of Miller’s Road is the easiest launch I have used - it’s concrete almost all the way to the water, you can usually park right in front of the ramp

We still need to wet a line yet mate, I haven’t forgotten!

Cooked the flathead yesterday. Beer batter flathead tail and chips, onion rings, coleslaw, homemade aioli. Mrs is happy. Means I gained a credit and she'll let me go fishing more often
