Re: 2023-01-Jan Westernport Solo

The launching facilities at Corinella are good, with multiple, nonslip concrete boatramps and plenty of parking. A police patrol car did a circuit, too, which gave me additional peace of mind. I guess I arrived at low tide and the tidal range was way more than I expected. There was about 2 metres o...

Re: Whiting fishing technique

Thanks for the tips. Though I must say if this is tough fishing, either I've been lucky or summer is going to be amazing. I don't think I've ever caught so many fish, even if most go back. So much more success than my attempts from the shore. That said, it's a lot more work versus shore fishing too...

Re: Whiting fishing technique

Second time I used the same rig, but kept losing the bait (pippies and/or squid) without any hookups. But feeling the line, I could feel the nibbles. Since you apparently aren't supposed to strike with circle hooks, I moved to a long shank hook paternoster setup. I certainly started bringing in fis...

Re: Gentle Annie Channel (Western Port)

Thanks cheater. It's interesting (but understandable) that all the charts just designate so much of that part of western port as just "mud", yet clearly there's a fair bit more structure than that. Though I gather the channels might move around a bit over time just like rivers do. You pro...

Re: New to kayaks what winter clothing do you recommend

I wasn't aware that thermal rashies were a thing. Thanks for this post, I will be investing in one of those as we head towards winter. Pretty common for the Vic guys to use thermals over winter and the adrenalin brand is pretty good value for money - I myself use Adrenalin thermal pants under a set...
