Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
While the keen salmon anglers don't fish the beaches over the warmer months normally, there has been been some nice salmon about. The numbers of fish haven't been huge but the size has been good with fish over a kilo. The beaches have been sporadic with where the salmon will turn up, but if you're fishing a good deep gutter or hole near a bay or inlet entrance your chances are increased. Customer Robin has been fishing the beaches around Phillip Island over the past few weeks, where he has caught some nice salmon. Robin's most effective bait lately has been salted mullet gut, which he has caught from the beaches himself.
The beaches along the 90 mile have been holding big numbers of mullet, and by fishing finesse surf gear in the shorebreak and shore gutters you can catch plenty of them. With loads of mullet about the bigger predators like flathead and toothy sharks have hanging by too. Flathead to 60cm haven't been uncommon from Golden beach and Woodside beach, with bluebait a good bait choice. Even better have been 'TPR' style plastics like the 'Bungy Baits' - which are crab proof and attract the attention of the fish.
A bit closer to home around Phillip Island there have been some bigger predators taking advantage of the available food also. Customer Seb had a night fish from one of the ocean beaches and snagged a ripper school shark of around 20kg on a salmon head. During the session him and a mate also got bitten off another 4 times, potentially by other 'schoolies'.
