Fishing Victoria Forum

Hit up Bushrangers yesterday with ladyk

Had some fresh squid and fresh mullet baits out but didn't get anything other than wrasse, gurnard and toadies. Very difficult place to fish the bottom.

Tried to balloon out a squid head on a large circle but couldn't make it work. Despite wind being from the north it swirls alot around the cliffs and the wave action made it impossible to get the balloon out.

One good salmon I dropped at the rocks took a 6 inch curltail grub on a 28g jighead. Other than that no real action all day.

Bad luck you didn't get a few fish Dougie, wasn't from not trying either... Better luck next time out mate.

at least there was something there to keep you entertained, keen to try balloon fishing just don't know where to start.

Me either. I tied a baloon onto a a swivel via clip. 2 metres of 60lb leader, a small ball sinker and a 6/0 circle with a squid head. I guess that's about right.
