Fishing Victoria Forum

Well, after checking the forecast I though I’d head down to the beach for a few hours with a spear and head torch. At first I managed a few garfish, before I noticed a huge mullet, I took a shot as it darted around me and missed. Now utterly gutted I continued, trying not to dwell on missing perhaps the biggest mullet I had ever seen. I then got a few more gars, but apart from them and heaps of stingrays I wasn’t seeing much. It had now been about an hour and a half and my hopes were fading. But to my surprise a massive flounder appeared right in front of my feet, I hastily speared it and had now forgotten about the mullet. Then finally as I was about to head home, I saw what I thought was a reasonably sized pinkie. After spearing, it turned out to be a bream, a smidge under 30cm. Anyway, I came home absolutely stoked after the session turned out to be very successful. Can’t wait to go again!

Good stuff
Yes its good fun -did you spear the gars or wack them with the spear and stun them?

nice work mate. Well done.

That is an awesome feed! Good work

Nice work. You almost never see people spearing around there.

I spear the gars, I’ve tried netting them and whacking them on the head, and although it does work I have found by far the best way to get them is with a spear. Especially when they’re not on the surface.

That’s a nice spearing session
I used to go all the time about 4-5 years ago.
Definitely going to get back into it this summer!
Nice work mate you’re doing well.
Enjoy the feed.
Cheers
