There are quite a few beaches around Philip Island that look worth a go, also I have heard that San Remo is worthwhile, but it would be very tide dependant (I think you would want to flounder the rising tide).

Did anyone go floundering last night??

Conditions were AWESOME before about 1am, when a northerly breeze kicked in and wrecked the visibility. My secret spot produced 3 flounder, 5 flathead, 6 gars and a squid in 1.5 hours.

I also saw at least 50 big stingrays and eagle rays in the shallows, so think twice before going night swimming in the bay!

hi jazman, how big are these rays that you saw? do you mean the massive ones a couple of metres across? are they spawning in the shallows perhaps? cheers, glen

Hey Glen, I know the huge rays you mean, they weren't that big, but we saw plenty of stingrays of 1m across, and eagle rays to about 1.5m across. I do think they are spawning in the shallows, they were congragting in groups of 4 or 5 together. And of course there were plenty of your favorite banjo sharks. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':au:' />

PS I missed a flathead of well over 60cm <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':zorro:' />

Hi guys, went floundering last night 11pm-1am, and as usual the fish became more numerous as the night wore on. If only I didn't have to work today I could easily have stayed out all night. I ended up with 1 big flounder and 2 flathead, plus about 6 small gars. I also saw a big (30+) school of bream, and a few speedy mullet. There were more rays in the shallows than you could poke a stick at.

jaz i noticed you mentioned san remo. ive never seen anyone flounder there in the whole time ive been going to phillip island. although coronet bay is a spot worth trying. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' />
