yeah they do so long as its not to choppy and the waters clean, trick is finding the places where they are.

Hi guys, I had a go for about half an hour at mt martha rocks tonight and got 2 nice size ones (already eaten).

Rocksy, nice one from beauy the other day mate. It was almost as big as my one when I got those 3 biggies down there on the 24th of feb. haha mayb yours was a bit bigger.

I think I might give it another go at mt martha tomorrow in the boat and I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Anywho, first post too by the way.

Ok so we had a bit of a late start yesterday but it was awesome fun and pretty productive.

Got up yesterday at about 10 am and had to put new lights and wiring in my mates boat trailer before we could head down.

We got it all done by about 1 and headed down from Bentleigh to Mornington boat ramp with boat in tow. once we got there and got onto the water it was about 3ish.

We decided to have a go for some decent fish for a bit first in about 18m of water off mt Martha with not a great deal of success so headed in to about 10m with was great fun with heaps of under sized pinkys, a couple of frogs and my first banjo witch was pretty awesome.

Then it was squid time!! So we swapped to jigs and after pulling up 4 little ones we thought we should have a go in at 3m and then it was one after the other. I got a few good sized ones in the boat and because i was flicking from the bow I didn't have to worry about being inked, So i had some fun with the guys in the back.

It was so full on, if id didnt get dark, we would of stayed there all night. But because we had not lights, we took off back to Morny with a pretty good amount of fresh calamari and a couple of little frogs for tonights BBQ.

I had another go off the rocks at mt Martha tonight and I tell you what, its really hard not to bag out at the moment!! And the're getting bigger too. I get down there from about 4pm and stay until its just about too dark to get back up the hill. Its just so much fun when you think your snagged and then you get that 'tug tug tug' and pull in a big tiger! Man this stuffs addictive!!

Here's a pic too.

Farout, there are some big ones in there! I went to blairgowrie yesterday arvo and managed 3 small ones. Man that place is fairly packed.



Where abouts' is mt.Martha rocks?

[m4ttyboi]

Its kinda hard to find at first but if you just drive down the coastal road just after the mt matha shops it gets all bendy and you'll see a dodgy car park on the right that usually has a few cars parked in it right around sun set. you have to walk down a steep little cliff. once you find it though, its well worth it.

Got 23 Calamari and 1 Arrow squid this morning drifting between Deakin Street and Bradford Road. good day.

[glen]

nice work!!

[m4ttyboi]

were you in a boat or kayak rocksy?

[Dr Drift]

well done,



tug tug tug feels awesome, especailly when you relise its a big one...



Dr Drift...

[rocksy]

in a boat, two boats actually the other boat with got about 10. We went out chasing snapper afterwards but we had no gps... utterly pointless.

[m4ttyboi]

Oh well, some times its good to just turn the sounder off and go with you gut but on the other hand, its nice to catch big fish too.

Good work on the calamari though.

[rocksy]

Should have stayed on the squid, probably could have bagged both boats out.



Got 4 in 45 mins late tonight at the local, then the wind picked up, stayed another 30 mins got bupkis. left. now i'm wide awake at 4am

[xALmoN]

i'm thinking of heading down to mt martha this thursday afternoon. Is anyone's interested in joining me? The catch reports are sounding pretty tempting.

[glen]

hi xalmon! was it any good?

[xALmoN]

glen, thursday hasn't even come yet!



but i'm looking forward to it, been awhile since i've wet my lines.
