Sounds alright, i'm generally happy to just be getting bites. Catching something just makes it worth while, haha.Went for a fish in moreton bay this morning, got a couple of nice squire before the weather went nasty then went in the pummicestone passage for a pb flathead.
As far as anything big goes not really, no, never
Don't fish much but I had one interesting experience, brother lives at Pt Lincoln and he took us out (to his spot) in his tinny.
Day was calm and it was sunny, we were sitting there for a while without any luck, my brother was feeling a little embarrassed.
All of a sudden clouds came over and blocked the sun and King George whiting came out from everywhere. 40 cm long, one after the next, 4 of us as soon as the rod went back in the water another one was hooked within seconds, it was unbelievable.
The clouds went within half an hour and after we caught no more but by that stage we had so many it didn't matter.
My suggestion is look for those kind of days (calm with cloud cover).
Sounds like heaven. I'm salivating reading those species!Adelaide used to have a great 'secret' place, from Middle Beach down is a series of dams that feed other dams heading south all the way to near Wingfield dump, for salt harvesting. The first dam had four pumps feeding water straight from a mangrove estuary and we used to sneak in just before dark for some great fishing.Monster KG whiting, 2 kilo bream, massive flathead...and at night I would walk along a with a torch and a net and scoop up prawns, blue swimmers and flounder. It was said that every species that frequent the mangrove nurseries in SA was represented heavily in those dams, and it was a secret fishing spot whose knowledge was handed down from father to son(and the odd friend). Apparently it is impossible to get in there now

Big old bump.
Anyone know if there's any good fishing off the beaches near Cheltenham/Mentone?

I would love to know.
I live in Mentone but know nothing about anybody fishing from the beach there. Maybe half moon bay?
Apparently catching squid for fun off the Mornington pier if you're after a feed. As for catching anything more enjoyable, not sure you're going to have much luck. Maybe head towards San Remo/Phillip Island on a Saturday/Sunday for a fish via the Tackle World store in Cranbourne and ask in there, they're usually pretty good with letting people know.
Worst thing about living in Melbourne is how far you have to drive to get a decent spot.
I honestly never knew it fished that well but it looks like I’m wrong...Bump.
I'm feeling too Melbournised, and feel like having a fish. Anywhere in the northern suburbs that's good? I was looking at Merri Creek in Coburg, but unsure as to what runs through it.
As someone that lives in the area I would avoid it. Head on over to Maribyrnong Road, the bridge next to the Anglers Tavern always has a few people and you can walk up along the path and cast in anywhere. Always a few folk fishing under the bridge and along the stretch there.Bump.
