Fishing Victoria Forum

hi guys just wanting some advice on what to target i've only caught little pinkies there advice would be greatly apreciated would love to catch my first whiting

Not to many whiting in the patto i think u should yry off piers

for whiting head down to anthonys nose around dromana area, its an easy access whiting landbased spot.
patto has bream, mullet and salmon hanging around most times. i wouldn't waste my time trying for whiting there.

I have caught small whiting in Patto when fishing for mullet in winter, and small whiting off Seaford pier in summer up to 23cm but can’t confidently target them unfortunately, earlier on in the year I caught a 40cm whiting off Black Rock pier but it’s pretty hard to get a good spot there. The further down the peninsula you go the better chances you will have.

Mount martha/dromana, landbased casting straight from the beach at safety beach have caught plenty in the past

well i tried a school of salmon came through busted me clean off and then wouldn't eat anything

What's your line rating?

like 8 pound or 10 pounds

Good for the estuary but a bit light if you're going to be fishing the beaches chasing that whiting (and snapper - you can't avoid the pinkies anyway). It'll be nothing but frustration when they head towards any rock/reef. Banjos might bust you off too.
I use 20lb+ for the pier/beach

ok well i have 1 lure rod that 2 -4 kgs
