Re: Port Phillip Bay Sat 27/8

G Day KobnCo, a meet at the Beamauris Surf Club is the plan (same place as last time). Once on the water, head out past the marine park boundary and chances are we'll be slightly to the left of where you are, but you should see one of us pretty easily. We tend do our own thing and catch up occaisonally.

Re: Port Phillip Bay Sat 27/8

Four of us made it out today, KobnCo, Hoit80, Rod and myself. Pretty foggy early on, but it cleared to reveal a great sunny day with heaps of boats out there having a crack aswell. Amongst the team haul were pinkies, snook, coutta and a whiting. Not sure of personal tallies, but no doubt I outfished the others probably around 10 to 1 emoticon You'd agree with that wouldn't ya Milt?

Well, maybe "outfish" and "10 to 1" might be an ambitious relection of the truth but I did score a trolled whiting on HB which doesn't happen that often emoticon

Hi Poddy,

I think the teeth in that "whiting" are a bit sharp....what you have there looks like a Pike. emoticon ...which make excellent live bait for Jewies

Re: Port Phillip Bay Sat 27/8

It was a morning of Melbourne Mango madness.

Well it wasn't really madness but there were four mango colored yaks enjoying a great morning.

Poddy, glad to see to made it back. Last I saw you was when you were heading towards the other side of the bay in the fog. I will be investing in a compass as the shoreline disappeared quickly when we were enveloped in the fog.

I scored a number of undersized pinkies on bait. Fresh couta did the trick as they were not very interested in the pilchards. However after seeing Rod's soft plastics outfishing the bait I think I need to give them more of a go next time.

Glad to see your lures scoring a few fish. Don't know how Hoit80 went as I had to leave just after he joined us.

Cheers,
KOBnCo

Re: Port Phillip Bay Sat 27/8

DanA75 I think you've solved my confusion with snook (short finned seapike), pike (long finned pike) and whiting (a fish that envies the pike, and would one day like to have an operation in order to become a pike). We often catch snook but not so often long finned pike and I think I was a little eager to call him a whiting. My inlaws are coming over for a BBQ today and know very little about fishing, so my confusion may remain for 24 hrs emoticon

KobnCo, good job on the pinkies. Rod's got us all flicking the SP's around, my efforts yesterday with soft plastics were about as long as I've flicked with these in a session. I'm not sure if Rod is also responsible for all the rubbers in the carpark, but quite possibly. Re the fish, I won't admit it here but "outfishing Rod and Grant 10 to 1" was a blatant lie in order to berley up a response. I think we all got a few. The compass is also a good idea in fog, I carry one in the centre hatch and took a butchers at it before paddling for Geelong yesterday. It's part of my on water insurance package, even if it only gets used rarely.

Re: Port Phillip Bay Sat 27/8

The fresh couta fillets KOBnCo provided certainly attracted the small pinkies but no keepers amounst the few I caught. I also picked up 2 small flatties & a Sphyraene novaehollandiae (ie the humble snook which definitely was not a whiting emoticon ) on SP's. I don't know who is flicking the SP's around the carpark but I wish they would use the bin. emoticon

Re: Port Phillip Bay Sat 27/8

It was a beautiful day and plenty of fish caught (albeit most were under or just size).
The fog made for some interesting positioning and if I didn’t have a fish finder telling me the depth I would not have had a clue where we were. Fortunately the road sounds pointed us in the general direction to get back on the reef after drifting off it.
I picked up between 15 and 20 pinkies (I gave up counting) with about 5 legal size or better (27cm). I also caught 3 goat fish, or as some people call them red mullet, and the pike that KOBnCo and Hoit80 used as bait.
I thought we were going to have to get in the car and drive around to Geelong and fetch Poddy when he took off for a troll in the fog. It was at least an hour before we saw him again. Keep the traffic noise to your right Poddy, not behind you…
Hoit80 appeared from nowhere out of the fog and completed the quarto of Melbourne Mango’s (could be our new name?). Anchored up on his new-found drop off we had to paddle to over to him to say G’day.
As for rubbers in the car park, no they weren’t mine but it looked like someone enjoyed themselves on Sat night. emoticon
All in all, a very nice morning to be on the water. It was good to meet you KOBnCo
P.S. 10 to 1 Poddy…B.S. emoticon
