hey ppl,
went down to portsea a few days ago for the first time since last year. the weather was perfect!..got down there at about 730am to find the local old pro's already there at the prime spot on the end of the pier (great for the morning run)...so me and my mate who was on his first ever fishing trip set up along the first length of the pier with some whiting and jigs..but with no luck we went down to rye and got some lunch and some beers, waited for a few hours and returned to portsea at about 130pm .
ive found it can be really productive along the first stretch of the pier in the afternoon/dusk~evening..so we set up again there. and within about 10 minutes my mate pulled in a great sized squid with a silver whiting that he was casually casting and retrieving....and just as i'd netted his, i looked out to see that my float was nowhere to be seen, so i quickly started winding in and realised i had something big! to my surprise there was another squid hooked up which is the biggest ive caught so far..
see pics.......
