Here’s Abby Pohlner with her first ever Estuary Perch caught in the Hopkins.
Peter Goode and Mark Kita went off Port Fairy again yesterday and bagged out on tuna by 9:30am, then went to the shelf to test his new ELECTRA Electric Reel (available at Richardson Marine), and got 2 nice gem fish. On Saturday Mark also ended up getting a 10kg gummy.
Here is Emma Anderson with her first tuna off Portland yesterday, fishing with “the best dad ever”:
Yesterday saw the Warrnambool Offshore & Light Game Fishing Club hold a surf fishing outing at East Beach, Port Fairy, and those who resisted the temptation of the favourable offshore conditions had a great family day, with a few salmon being caught by the more accomplished anglers (i.e. not yours truly!)
Salty Dog Charters at Port Fairy also showed yesterday that there are still plenty of tuna around, bagging out by 9:30am.
Pictured here is some of the catch from Port MacDonnell Fishing Charters on Saturday, when they caught 32 tuna by 10:00 and then bottom fished and caught 4 gummy shark 3 snapper 5 morwong and Heath landed a very nice school shark.
This is the ripper snapper that Adam Ziakas caught at Port MacDonnell on Saturday.
Andrew Westlake thoughtfully retrieved this gas cylinder which was floating about in the ocean on Saturday. Scary to think of the effect hitting this at 20 knots would be, and a reminder to always be on the lookout ahead when travelling on the water.
