Observations only.
Hey everyone, sorry but no reports from me here. I've been visiting some common fishing grounds locally in several different spots and thought I'd share what I've seen to give anyone interested an idea of what's biting.
On Monday 13/01 @ 9am visited maribyrnong river behind VU, saw a few Asians fishing for bream with bass yabbies. Saw them caught and release underside breams, there was an old couple fishing with worms, they caught nothing.
On Wed 15/01 @ 11am visited Newport shipping channel side, walked pass few fishos and saw them catching underside pinkies and only 1 guy had a keeper pinkie at 35cm+. Further down the end was a group who preferred to keep thier catch quiet but I can hear splashes in thier bucket, unsure what was in it.
On Fri 17/01 @ 6pm visited Williamstown beach area where the bus stops and rock edges are, was bit windy but did see a few keen fishos battling the elements. Watched them snag cast after cast with the wind and wave against them. Did not see any fish get caught.
On Sat 18/01 @ 11pm visited Altona pier, saw atleast 8 fishos at the end of the pier with a dozen rod spread out. Was there for 20 mins and did not see anything get caught or even a bite. Asked a few fishos and they said nothing was caught yet. Great weather though.
I will post my own reports as soon as I get time for a real session, hope this bit of info help the landbase guys cheers

Re: Observations only.
Thanks. Some info at least.

Re: Observations only.
I fished Altona this morning .
Bunch of undersized snapper. Low 20’s
All in the shallows.
Caught a nice flathead , went 48cms , a new ppb pb for me.
Was a nice morning .
Slightly impromptu trip, didn’t have my sounder battery fully charged. So stuck to areas I knew had fish.
I cut down a gulp nemesis in orange/yellow .
Slow rolled on the bottom with small hops got nailed.
The flathead actually did put up a decent fight.
All fish on 1-3kilo + 6lb leader + 6lb main
1/8 oz jig head
Cheers

Re: Observations only.
As I said, squid fishing before the storm.
Went to Mornington, few people there but few left when the strong wind came.
Very slow, saw one guy caught one on the rock on black jig.
Me and couple mates, managed to get one on yamashita 2.5. Had one follow minutes later and thats it.
Saw an eagle ray flapping on shallow water with the flaps outside the water. Pretty cool.

Re: Observations only.
Went to black rock, had a look and decided to go home as it was way too windy
