Queenscliff report - VIC

[bream addict]

hey all,im after a fewe tips on fishing qcliff pier,i was down there the other day and fished near the end,on that lower landing part, from about 5.30 to 8.30 pm for 2 squid,both on a retrieved orange jig,hoods of about 13cm and 22cm approx.we also had two jigs under flots and nothing,which surprised me. even with them set only about 1.5mtrs under the float,over the sand patches they still seemed to collect weed,we were obviously missing something as all the old european blokes were using the long poles,really close to the pier over plain sand,no sort of reef at all.It started to go a bit quiet at about 7.30 and we stuck it out for a while but as we had had a long day we decided to go home at about 8.30pm.next time however,i will stay longer if it is recomended,so wat time would be ideal to get there and till wat time do u fish?are baited jigs better than the artificials there?can u use a float with a jig under or a normal rod or should u use one of those poles?

I will be heading down that way at least once in the coming week so if anyone is up for a fish and to teach me a bit about fishing queenscliff please let me know.

Thanks in advance,BA.
