straight out to 16 mt mark or 18 mt mark and travel along that depth during snapper season in either direction you should pick the schools and the and '' the flocks of seagulls on a chip'' other boats. turn left and head south towards Frankston close in o the weed reef patches for squid. north to off Mordialloc drift for flathead.

Going to need some close up help on that during snapper season thank you.

Saw some nice Calamari but that was WesternPort. Squid are fantastic bait of course. Going to try some bottom bouncing lures while on the sounder looking for schools this year. The videos of them doing that has me wanting to try [thumbsupbig]

Got a downrigger Mario. I tried it for Tuna before deciding a faster tow got me a lot more tuna pain- the arms after a FEW big ones to let go after the sweet spot one or two at 50kgs to stay for Soy/Wasabi in the boat [thumbsupbig] Love to give it a shot later this year. Liked your move to get a hoist in Westernport. A Captain marching this Sunday will get a hard time from me promise[biggrin] I will hold that chat until Mori Arms post March.

Still need a supervisor for the down rigger sir

I've never caught a fish but a mate is pretty keen - and he catches decent fish in the Yarra. He reckons that they go in there to feed and don't glow in the dark either.

Even if they did you'd be hard pressed to spot them in the Yarra.

Got a feeling I'm going to be ballast if I come out with you blokes. I have no idea what either of you are talking about. I thought it was about fish.

This is secret code, right?

Edit: And I've worked it out:

In English: "I have heard a rumour that there are large numbers of King George Whiting in Westernport Bay."
