Fishing Victoria Forum

Went out from Rhyll for the grand final weekend in search of a big red.

Caught dozens of couta, and a couple of flathead and one 23cm red.

Water temp was 14.1-14.4 deg C.

Saw one good red caught in a nearby boat and 2 back at the ramp, hoping to get out next weekend to try again.

Good try mate.
ILooks like I'm free weekend of the 12 to take the boat out.
I'll touch base near then

A smidge early for rhyll/corals I feel

they should start coming on over the next 2 or 3 weeks as the water warms

Hopefully you start getting onto the reds in the coming weeks!
Cheers

Hopefully better luck next time..

Yes I agree too early and water was too cold.

I was hoping to get my dad onto a 10kg plus red which seem to more prevalent early season.

Keep .......

At least you had a go I got a few squid decided against a snapper sesh. If I was fishing for snapper this time of year I’d be focusing my efforts past corinella or past nidaroot.

Clever thinking, worth a crack! Did you have much of a sound around at all? Reckon I'd be trying the deeper water from Silverleaves to Cowes there hoping to cross paths with an early season fish as they start to trickle in. Better luck next trip!

Over the long weekend we sounded for hrs and tried from the Corals to Cowes.
