Hi, Guy's
I've been following this site for a while and have to say it's great. I bumped into Mr Snapperman @ Flinders pier a couple of months back and he put me onto it-thanks Snapperman.
This is my first post and I could'nt resist putting my two cents in about the pier hogging issue.
For my money 4 lines per person on a boat is too many let alone for pier fishing, especially the more popular piers like Flinders. Two lines per person is ample for pier fishing, this way you could fish one bait for the larger Squid and use a jig to prospect or maybe pick up the smaller ones if the larger ones were scarce.
I use to fish Flinders a fair bit a few years ago and I fished with one rod with a Jig only and I too had a few run ins with the 10 hand lines per yellow rain coat brigade too. Having multiple handlines running up the pier is a joke. Having a four lines per person rule for both boats and piers is a bit narrow minded.
Glad to get that off my chest, keep up the good work with the site Glen.
P.S. Fished Queenscliffe for the first time from a boat this morning and a mate and I got 13-made my day.
