The bluefin tuna have been fishing well across in the Portland district and with some quality offshore conditions many anglers have been making hay while the sun has been shining.

Westernport has been providing plenty of options during some of our nice Winter days with the ilaginous fish one of them. If conditions allow the offshore fishing for gummy and school sharks has been excellent while the gummy fishing inside the port has been also. On top of that there have still been quite a few elephants about if you're fishing be...

With some lovely late Autumn and early Winter weather many anglers have flocked to their local beaches with a rod. And why not something as simple as walking the beach on a nice afternoon can be a great de-stress for many.

The bluewater fishing has been good for many species either east or west. Bluefin tuna have still been going well from Portland back to Apollo Bay. Most of the fish caught from Portland have been west of Lawrence Rock around through Bridgewater and Nelson Bays. Customer Aaron fished out from Portland last week and landed school fish to around 9kg o...

Again this week the beaches have been firing for Australian salmon. With some less than ideal weather for boat based fishing coupled with northerly winds beach fishing has been ideal. All beaches have been worth a look from Lakes Entrance in the far east to Port Fairy in the west. More locally Venus Bay has been excellent along with Williamson's Ki...

The tuna action hasn't stopped along the west coast with the main hotspots being Portland and Port Fairy.

Bass Strait has been the hit with anglers recently as the run of Winter weather we've had has been excellent with conditions too good to not make the most if them. The variety and quality of fish caught offshore during Winter can be excellent with the real mainstay being the large gummy sharks. Anglers fishing right out wide from areas such as Lake...

These tasty little fish have been about serious numbers for a little bit with the last few weeks being awesome. After the last bit of rain and wind the gars have come on again and have been making their way into angler's buckets along most of the bayside piers and rockwalls. Customer Ryan has been catching a few around the piers along the peninsula...

The salmon fishing continues to provide entertainment along all of the beaches in the state from local peninsula beaches through to south and east gippsland. While the gippsland beaches have been producing good quality fish beaches like Gunnamatta have also had some sold fish running. For the Melbourne local beaches Gunnamatta and St Andrews have b...

The suburban family lakes have been producing plenty of trout on both bait and lures. If you want to have a flick or take the kids out for some fresh air close by there's a heap of these lakes around the suburbs for you to try your luck at.

Wether you're boat or shore based there's been no hiding from the plague numbers of garfish all along the eastern side of the bay. If you're fishing anywhere from Brighton down to Mt Martha the gars have been thick and giving anglers plenty of action. Brighton rock walls have been producing the fish if you're located in the top end of the bay as ar...

The rivers running into Port Phillip have been producing good winter bream and some large mullet. If you're planning on fishing your local river the Werribee Yarra and Patterson rivers have all been good. The odd mulloway has been caught especially in the Yarra and Patto. On the bream front the Patto has been producing fish over a kilo along with m...

The trout fishing in many of the lakes and pondages has been good over the cooler weather with plenty of nice fish coming from Eildon pondage. With the pondage level low the fish have been a bit more confined and hunting the receding flats and edges and they have been ideal lure targets. Customer Matt fished the pondage over the weekend and found s...

For the anglers who have been down along the state's west over the past week or so the tuna fishing has continued to be good.

The local bluewater scene around the bay and just offshore has been producing both kingfish and bluefin tuna for anglers lucky enough to get out when a weather window allows. The past week or so has seen schools of kingfish turn up in the bays and in particular in the rip but word has gotten out and there can be a few boats on the fish! Customers S...

Port Phillip's autumn snapper bite continues with fish to nearly 8kg being landed by persistent anglers.
