Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
While the weather around Melbourne has been very rough over the last week, there are still fish to be caught - if you can get out. Landbased options have been difficult, with most of the Eastern side of Port Phillip getting smashed by waves and wind during the week. Even the keenest anglers have found it too hard to fish in these conditions, with most of the piers and rock walls taking breaking waves right over the top.
Customer Ferdi went out in a lull in extreme weather activity and had a shot for some table sized pinkies from the shore. Ferdi fished around the rock groynes around Black Rock and Sandringham where he caught some nice pinkies 30 - 40cm. Ferdi used half cut pillies and found that long casts into deeper water got the fish to bite, with plenty more undersize fish in closer.
As soon as the rough weather drops down a bit the pinkies will go nuts in around the reefy sections of the bay, in particular areas like Mordialloc, Black Rock and around Willamstown. Customer Jake fished from the shore around Williamstown on the weekend to land plenty of pinkies to 45cm on both soft plastics and bait. Jake said he started with 2 rods and ended up just fishing with 1 because the action was hot. He said that small baits of pilchard and squid were the best, with 3 inch Gulp minnows catching a few as well.
