PF Bay?

If you mean Port Phillip (Filip), then yep - never catch anything there if you are shore based..... or a mad fisho watching the barometer and knowing everything there is to know.....

Up QLD the fish hit all the time... down here.... zipo...

Eden would be a great spot....

Fish are hard to find down here..... I hear that Western Port can be good. I recon you need a boat, fish finder and plenty of time... and local knowledge....

Have been in Exmouth for almost 4 mths now , and wish we moved here years ago.
mackeral, tuna, GT's Jacks all caught during the last 2 weeks..
But the best is being able to go down the beach after work for a few beers , and throw the net and get in excess of 20 yellowfin whiting in one throw.
The limit is 40 per person, I throw back more than I keep.
Wish more would do the same
Crumbed whiting mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
After the last couple of weeks , the only fishing now will be catch and release, tis all good

Save some money, support your local chip shop,
No bait to buy, fuel to pay for, ramp fees, trying to find a carpark,
Servicing of your boat, cleaning down afterwards, flushing of the engine
All for what, a couple of scroungy flathead that you have to throw back,

$20 will buy all you can eat, cooked to your satisfaction
And there isnt even any dishes to be done,
Why would you bother ?

I've been fishing Port Phillip bay and this season has been great.

A couple weeks ago it was one flatty after the other.

Caught enough for a decent meal for my family (around 1.5kg tails).
