Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
There has been enough on offer for most landbased anglers fishing Port Phillip Bay recently. Pinkies, whiting, bream and squid have been the mainstay over the last week. The bream fishing has been good in all of the estuaries, including the Yarra and Patterson Rivers. Patto has been fishing well, with recent rain stirring the fish up a bit more and kicking them into gear. The best baits have been baits with a lot of scent, as with slightly dirtier water these baits have been standing out.
Customer Andrew has caught some nice fish including this thumper down towards the last boat ramp recently. Customer Jayden lives inside the lakes system and fishes from the pontoon in his backyard regularly and just this week he landed 5 nice fish including this 32cm fish in one session.
On the squid front, most of the regular piers have been producing. Sorrento and Portsea have been hit and miss, but producing much better size squid for anglers persisting in the current. Size 3.5 jigs are the most effective way to reach the larger squid here. Blairgowrie and Mornington piers have been a bit fickle but with small jigs a bag of smaller squid can be achieved.
Staff member Don fished from Mornington pier during the week to land a few decent squid for the area. Red foil jigs worked the best for Don late in the afternoon. Customer Shaun also did well at Mornington pier using red foil jigs after dark.
