You normally fish ppb or Westernport Matt.?Mattblack wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 2:23 pmHad a shocker last year, only got a couple.
Will be interesting season this year, I reckon you'll see a lot more people fishing solo, no charters and they'll probably end up closing all the piers. Might even have to try soft plastics if supply of bait becomes an issue (should probably start stocking up now as mentioned above).
2 months is a very long time these days, so anything could happen before now and then.

Be interesting to see what happens to recruitment if we cop a stage 4 through snapper season.
Why would bait supply dry up? Pros will still be out.

Seem to be fishing Westernport more these days, so many more options (in saying that, I do like fishing the top of Port Phillip at the start of the snapper season)CarlG wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 6:17 pmYou normally fish ppb or Westernport Matt.?Mattblack wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 2:23 pmHad a shocker last year, only got a couple.

Who knows what the future holds....I reckon a lot of tackle shops might not be around the way things are going. God only know what Stage 4 will be, but I'm presuming bait harvesting & storage wont be a priority.

You rely solely on those rigs with the fancy flasher bits don’t you?

just looking back I picked up my first early season snap out of Boltons channel mid September last year
my guess if we aren't in stage 10 lockdown by then around 3 more weeks Ill probably be paddling up around there
