Good fishing, loads of bites. I say best fishing is on north west breeze. I used an Alvey reel to cast bait really far, about 60m-80m. |

Fish started biting before high tide. Just for fun, I used size 12 treble hooks for the pippies. Had big runs on them that straightened the size 12s. Not sure if I caught a surfer or a fish. LOL. Changed to bigger stronger trebles but it suddenly went quiet. Nice big runs on 50lb braid. Current was too strong though... |

First time to fish there. The weather was not too choopy and windy that morning at 7am though it rained all night. Stiil, 1 catfish and 1 salmon were caught for my dinner. It's a nice place for surf fishing. |

Took my new Abu 6500CT Sports Mag out to see the surf for the first time. Fished the out-going tide. Mullet lived to fight another day. Think I should have taken the surf board instead. Great waves and weather! |

The swirling white water was a haven for the smaller salmon. Wasn't till the late of the afternoon we started to see the big salmon move through. It was great to see the Fisheries and Port Phillip Rangers getting out and about in the area to stop the dishonest fisherman. |

Salmon weren't biting too much. Used the mullet on a rig and picked up the shark. Took ages to bring in. Well worth the battle. |

All fish were monsters. Top day's fishing. Missed about 6 or 7 other salmon. Fished just below car park this time around. |

Sea was very rough and cold. Even said to myself, "Why are you here?" Returned all small salmon, kept the lovely 1.75kg salmon which was a surprise. Kept all 500g mullets. Saw 3 dead penguins washed ashore. |
