Hi all
I will be going fishing out from vic point this friday night/sat morning. having never fished this aera before was looking for a spot or two to try. i have a 16ft runabout with a sounder but no gps. and would like to get onto a few snapper or sweetlip, even a shark would be a bit of fun. any info would be great.
cheers

Rick , i haven't fished out of a boat in the southern bay much .
Only chasing a few Bronze whalers .

I think you will have a better chance to head up to Peel island .
The channel on the eastern side is easy to find some toothies , just anchor up next to the channel and berley berley berley !
Shouldn't take long to get one out !
Longest we've waited is probably 15 minutes

Also plenty of reef patches around the area for sweetlip and pinkies .
If you find a good drop , might come across some better reds ..but i can't say for sure .
I know they're there , just haven't fished for them .
Launch is coming in a few weeks , then i will find out for sure .

GPS won't really be needed ( unless someone gives you an exact position to find them ) just find the ledges on the sounder .

thanx blaze & billo
It is starting to look like I wont be able to get out on friday as the mechanic hasn,t finished with my boat yet.
so i might have to postpone the trip for a week or so. Billo thanx for the tips on peel I will defently have a poke around there and see what I can find and let you know how I did.
cheers

G'Day Goldfish,

Mate, still plenty of options around Coochie: You'll do well to fish the drop offs around the S/E red bouy, good time is on the turn of the tide Keep it light, with just enough to get you down a berley trail. Around the N/E marker will also be worth a try, as with the drop off out from Point Halloran side (N/W). You'll get some protection from the S/Eers there, if its blowing.

Don't be afraid to go into the shallows either


Cheers,
