Squid Oliver’s Hill & Daveys Bay

I think I love fishing way to much!
First post to share my Saturday fishing Adventure.
I have been know you fish from piers south of Mornington for about the last year or so. Time of day doesn’t seem to matter to much though morning and low tide seem to be the best. Mornington pier is my choice for late afternoon after work sessions. Catching squid from both sides of the pier. I’m posting this in hope that people will start sharing their stories, good, bad or indifferent they are all entertaining to me. So here is my latest story.
Recently got a boat license and bought a tinny. Went out last Saturday as I usually get out as much as I can for as long as I can 6am -6pm (I know I’m a maniac when it comes to
fishing). Squid fishing is what I like about port Phillip Bay. After a couple of hours and some good size squid. I headed to Yakka reef to see what was around. 1 hour there about later, I hooked up. After a short fight with what I though was a good size snapper. Turns out it was a 90cm gummy shark. This was my first Gummy shark. Stayed out for another hour and nothing but small flathead and a banjo shark. I returned to squid fishing in front of Oliver’s Hill lookout. Caught a few more squid of good size. Bagged out and went home.
What I’m loving most about fishing these days is taking my 8yr old daughter out and sharing the experience with her. Though the best part is when she tell everyone she out fished me the last time we went out
So what have you caught lately?
