[wolfwright]

Hey guys this is my first post here. Im heading down to Marengo just past Apollo Bay for the week from sunday 12th just wondering what fish are biting at the moment and if theres any advice you can give me as I haven't done too much surf fishing before.

I also want to try catching some squid!

Cheers! :fishing:

Friend in Apollo bay says squid from the break wall. I've got salmon of the beach and bream in the river there. If you feel like a drive try johanna beech our the aire river.

If you staying at the cabins near the beach try fishing off the rocks there. There is trevally, whiting, salmon and mullet there. I normally use squid strips for bait. Marengo beach is always worth throwing some lures around to catch salmon. As for calamari try Apollo bay harbour, there's some monster calamari in there. Make sure to take a landing net with you.

Awesome info! Thanks blokes :thumbsup:

yeah we are staying at the Marengo holiday park right up the back on the water.

Im pretty pumped to get a full weeks fishing in!!

Apollo bay harbour fishes well for squid, try the small jetty at the boat ramp and all along the breakwall on both sides, get snook, leather jackets, morwong in the harbour. Like enver said the rocks fish well at below the holiday park, and part of the beach is sheltered , long whiting rods do the job off the beach for all species down near Marengo.

I bought a Sabiki rod the other day to try while im away does anyone know if these things work? I got a tsunami sabiki rig with fish skin looking stuff on the hooks. id prefer to catch most of my bait if I can

Depends what type of sabiki rod, bought one on eBay just to use at wooleys pier in westernport, not the best, it's a one piece and to stiff for weak mouth of a yakka or trevally. The sabiki rigs would work well in the harbour for trevally or slimeys, not really good to cast, so works best on piers up and down with burley.

mines a fleabay one too. boutique fishing one

Just out of interest can i use a sabiki rig on my 7ft 3kg outfit or do i need a specific thing?

I bought a couple a while back and haven't got around to trying them yet, maybe in the next few days.
