Port Phillip Bay

Good mate Ru Sueyoshi fished off Mornington last Thursday. Ru had a ball managing to bag out on squid, as well as catching 10 salmon and a few pinkys. Ru’s highlight for the trip however was landing his first garfish on a soft plastic. A top effort mate! Ru also fished Mount Martha Rocks on Wednesday morning and landed 5 squid on the Harimitsu jig in the EWC colour.

Good customer Wozza fished out of Frankston on Sunday morning. The boys smashed the squid in 5m of water with the best jig being the KN in the Harimitsu in size 2.5.

Steve Bryce and his mate Todd fished Saturday in 20m off Rickett’s Point and picked up 5 snapper. Steve said the biggest fish went 3.75kg whilst the others ranged from 2-2.5kg. The best baits were garfish and silver whiting.

Team Schnitzel aka. “Bieber Fever” headed out on the Crusher on Sunday afternoon. The kids had a ball on the water and in perfect conditions, managed to get a nice bag of flathead, pinkies and garfish on one of the bays inshore reefs. It would be fair to say that the family had an awesome feast courtesy of Head Chef Sen’ore Mitchell that night. Nice work boys but we're not too sure about the Justin Bieber haircuts though...

Western Port

Brighton Central members Peter Cincotta and his good mate Billy fished on the middle spit on Saturday morning. The boys said it was tough work but still managed to get a nice mixed bag of fish which included a bunch of whiting, mullet, leatherjacket and a nice sized flathead. Best baits for the day were pipes and squid.

Staff member Jake’s dad Brian and their good mate Greg fished the Middle Spit off Hastings on Saturday morning. During a pretty tough session, the pair managed 14 whiting to 38cm and a few mullet to around a kilo. Best depth was 6m and pipi’s and squid baited on Black Magic Whiting Whackers and Snatchers did the job.

Rick Maccarthy off Facebook fished with his mate Barry Glason on Saturday afternoon. The boys fished around Joes for 41 whiting and a bunch of leatherjacket and pinkies to 35cm. The boys said that the run in tide was the best time and that the best bait was a pipi-squid cocktail.

The Gaff and his good mate James fished off Stony Point on Sunday morning. The boys had a cracker of a session getting a bunch of whiting to just over 40cm in 3 meters of water. Best bait for the day was a pipi-squid cocktail.

Staff member Jake fished with good mates and customers Mark and Beau in 7m of water off the Somers area on Sunday night. The boys had a quick session on the water but managed to land 2 gummies to 5kg whilst also dropping another couple. Best baits for the night were fresh trevally and cowanyoung chunks that Jake had caught the night before.

Customers James, Bubba and Age headed out from Hastings on a guided charter with Gawaine Blake on the weekend. The boys ended up with 3 nice gummys that all took fresh yakkas caught that morning. If you’d like to book a guided charter or fishing charter with Gawaine then e-mail him on gawaine@bigtimefishingcharters.com.au

Good mate Mitch "Strawberries-and-Cream"Greene fished with his uncle Darren and cousins Jack and Max on Wednesday morning. Fishing the Tortoise Head Bank in 4m of water, the boys managed over 40 whiting with quite a few going over 40cm. The group also managed a few bay trout, flathead and butterfish.

Bass Strait

Customer Aaron fished out the front of Portsea on Saturday. The boys fished in 35m of water to land a nice mako that was estimated around 20kg on a live squid, which they caught earlier that morning. Awesome effort boys.

Customer Benny Reinwald fished out in the strait on Sunday. The boys managed to get a bunch of kingfish to 10kg on surface lures such as the old favorite Jet Popper by Williamson and Rapala X-rap Walks. The boys also fished live-baits that only lasted seconds in the water before getting smashed.

Out of Town

Yarra River

Staff members Dan and Pete fished the Yarra River on Monday. Using Bassman Spinnerbaits and Mumblers, the boys landed one Murray cod of 2kg on a purple Mumbler.

Phillip Island

Staff member Jake fished with his new best mate and local expert Hayden on Saturday afternoon after work. Fishing Hayden’s secret spot off the rocks, they had a short session and managed 5 silver trevally to 1kg, as well as some large cowanyoung to over 40cm. The boys were using pilchard fillets fished under a float. Although Jake was stoked with their results, Hayden said that this was a less than average session on the water!

Port Welshpool

Adam from BOC fished down at Welshpool last week with a few of his good mates. The boys were there for 4 days and managed to get a mako each day, including this cracker that went 114kg. The boys also managed to draw up a white pointer which they estimated to be around 4.5 metres long.

Hazelwood Pondage

Brendan fished Hazelwood early in the week. Fishing around the reedy areas in the late afternoon and on into dusk, Brendan managed a few good-sized redfin. Brendan said the best technique was casting and retrieving Gulp 4” soft plastics in the Swimming Mullet pattern in the Pumpkinseed colour.

Narooma

Lee has just returned from a break with the family in Narooma and while fishing wasn't the total plan for the trip, two days offshore did see Lee and the crew on the Blackfin manage to get a lovley striped marlin on a lure for Kerry Widdicombe. It was Kerrie's first marlin and was estimated at 60kg and took a lumo Baby Hard head Lure.
The rest of the trip saw a bit of fun family fishing in the estuary where Mia proceeded to land a bunch of leatherjackets, pinkie snapper and flathead on her rod and reel, and even to the point where she wasn't interested in winding in fish on anyone elses rods.

Bermagui

The Bluewater Gamefish Classic was held over the Australia Day long weekend with a field of over 60 boats, which were greeted with good weather and plenty of marlin with over 100 fish tagged in the comp. It came down to a very close finish between local game boats "Mr Hooker" and "Hot Shot" fighting for the number one position of most marlin tagged. In the end, Mr Hooker took the honours with nine striped marlin tagged and released.

USA

Jack Vincent is in the US of A at the moment and while in Las Vegas, headed into the Bass Pro shop. Jack said it is probably the size of a Bunnings Warehouse, except it has two stories, not one, and is filled with everything relating to fishing and hunting. Jack said there is even a waterfall with huge fish swimming around, stuffed animals, an archery and shooting range, thousands of fishing reels, clothes, radios, GPS’s and the list goes on and on! Jack also said that he only spent 5 hours in the shop and he still felt like he was running through it!!
