Great Ocean Road, Vic

[pisces_australis]

Heading down Great ocean rd tomorrow and will be going as far as portland.

What i want to know is if any squiders have fished here recently and what were the best locations.

I havnt fished down this way for a lot of years and then it was salmon in the surf i,ve never fished for squid down

this way before, but one place will be lorne pier as when googling it there seems to be plenty of weed beds at the pier.

So any info will be a bonus............yeah i know i should have posted this a week ago "Doh"

Cheers ian

Thanks Rocksy,

Well myself and the missuz travelled the GOR all the way to portland,

now having the opportunity to have a squid fish along the way i chose not to upset the apple kart by squiding on the missuz holidays...........how smart am i ???..................however.

I did some reasearch along the way lorne,apollo bay, warny, and Portland heaps of ink at all locations, but the place that caught my eye was Lorne fantastic pier and location for big squid to come out of the strong ocean currents and rest in these quiet waters around the pier protected from the breakers by a rocky Groin.

However i didnt suggest (with great restrain) that i could just whip out the squid gear and have a few casts NO.

I did the smart thing and i did everything she wanted and kept her happy so i could squid another day <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



Well the first chance i get i,ll be back there for an overnighter......Magic grounds here for some rippers ink every where and some big ink <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':woot:' />

My interest is peaked... might be worth a September weekend away. Squid gaff maybe...?



how far between the water and the pier at low tide do you reckon it is?

some good ink marks there , looks a bit like the path at manly harbour atm ink all over the place....and before you ask...I dont know nothing about it hahahahahahahahahaha.

funny thing was last night I lifted a squid out of the water and onto the path and it shot ink straight across the path and straight up over a car park there.....I moved rather quickly up the path hahahahaha

Well Rocksy i didnt stay long enough for the low tide but maybe the gaff isnt long enough here.

What i do is save my pics to Photobucket then you click on the [img] code and it copies it, then paste the code into squid fish post.
