Quote:I fished on Thursday with mates Gwayne, Ben and Donuts (now crispy creams) from the Portsea Pier. We managed a good bag of calamari. Both the Brown Hiramatsu and Pilchard Hayabusa worked best. We fished the low tide which was productive.

Quote:SOUTHERN PORT PHILLIP BAY:
There has been plenty of calamari action again this week by both land-based and boat anglers. Portsea and Sorrento piers have been producing calamari along with boaties fishing in 5 metres of water around Portsea point. Hayabusa pilchard coloured jigs and hiramatsu brown jigs have been most productive.

The reports of calamari taken from the pier have continued on this week. Anglers have been doing very well with one angler catching is bag in just 10 casts.
Favourite jigs have again been the brown Harimitsu and plum Hayabusa colours.

The Portsea pier is still fishing well for calamari early in the morning. Gawaine Blake and mate donuts fished on Wednesday morning in worst than awful conditions. The boys managed a few nice calamari on the Brown Harimitsu Jigs.

Hi All
Fished down at Portsea on Friday night with Brighty. Managed a few small squid, some blokes down the end of the pier managed a Mammo Squid to 3.5kgs using whole pilchards on skewer style jigs under floats at about 10pm. Heading down thursday night to snag me a few of those big ones. Will let you know how I fare.
Cheers

Beautiful day Wednesday saw me and a mate down at Portsea before sunset. Loving the daylight savings!
Caught 2 squid at 1kg. Been a while since I've squidded. But good to see that they are still around. Quite a number of fellow squidders, just a matter of luck and patience.
Tight lines,
Evoke

Portsea, VIC - glen - 19-12-2008

just checked the melway for directions to portsea.... <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rod:' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' /> did not know it was that far at all... i thought it was before sorrento. oh wells... heres a good 2 hour drive at 4am. hope it will be worth it.
Portsea, VIC - glen - 20-12-2008
yep it is a long way from town!!! hope you catch a few!
Portsea, VIC - mikii_v - 21-12-2008
yes !!!! i finally have a report. took forever to get to portsea, its so far !!!
fished at 6:30am-11:30am. caught 2 squids. dont know the weigh or size but its triple the size of what is caught at mornington.
i tried fishing with a baited jig for the first time, did it wrong so a guy that was there showed me how. however nobody using a baited jig caught any. they were only coming off the artificial jigs and 1 every hour or so. was a very slow day. wasnt what i expected of portsea. i hear alot of story and was expecting like a big pier with lots of people because its a popular fishing place. but boy, its so quiet there all i can hear is waves.
Portsea, VIC - glen - 21-12-2008
hi mikii, thanks for the report! were any cuttlefish caught?
cheers, glen
Portsea, VIC - mikii_v - 30-12-2008
nah no cuttlefish. saw a lady catch a garfish though.
anyways my parents went out to portsea today from 9:30am- 2pm. no luck at all. however my cousin caught 2 little ones, the size of a hand, off 1.8 jigs. it was my parents first time in portsea, they usually go mornington. i was dissapointed that they didnt catch any because i wanted to prove to them that my 2.5 jigs that i bought worked very good. paid 25bux for them... and that baited jigs are the way to go at portsea + 2.5 artificial jigs. not their tiny 1.8 jigs that they use at mornington catching little baby squids. they said no1 else caugh anything.
i think the weather was abit poor for squidding.
anyone else have any reports anywhere in melb??? its been very quiet with posting in vic
