Flinders report - VIC

[nala]

Glen, I thought about having a look at Flinders this past week but the conditions you describe are what I feared. Too bad there was nothing around to balance out the bad weather with some good catches.



Kraken, Flinders has become my preferred spot of late, usually pretty sheltered unless a southerly is blowing, 'usually' squid to be caught. Infact I have never come home without at least 1 or two on the worst days but Glen's report proves that it does not always produce.



I much prefer mornings, just prior to first light, on the pier, rigged and squidding bout 30 min before first light. I have always found the conditions best (less wind) in the morn, and you have the added bouns of fishing till 10am or whatever and still have the full day to do other things. it also does not get hit (in my opinion) as hard as the other side of bay, Portsea, Blarigowrie etc.



I had an awsome session recently on the run out tide but I have also had some good days at high tide and slack water too. So any time is a good time in my opinion.



Oh, you will need a drop net as it is a fair drop from the pier to the water usually.



Hope this helps,
