    Default Large Pinkie.

    I thought I'd have a go at my first pic upload. Well????

    To the right of the pic is the Breakwater.

    3.1 kilo Snapper, 7.3o am on a slab of squid right on the end of the rock wall. Dec 06. Several Barracudas later ( great bait ) and Wham! I got another two larger ones. No pics . Sorry.
    Yes I don't eat the things But!. I put 9o pcent back.

    Gawwwd I can't wait to get there again this Xmas.

    I'm happy to distribute them if you can come get'em. I ice what I keep, in a large freezer in a Pizza shop till my 2 weeks are up. Good friends shop.

    Cheers. Tony.

    Squid capital of Vic I reckon. Cephalapods aplenty in Portland Martrix !!!!! !.

    Fishing off the Breakwater wall. 1 and a bit km long.
    You know it? I go to the very end. Often on my own. Never crowded there. 20 approx mtrs deep.
    I cook in the back of my van, all meals, sleep and get up at 5.3o am to do it all over again. All fish on ice till I get to the pizza shop at night.

    And Bob...not a problem. On my way home I'm happy to make a detour. Might even throw a line in down your way.

    I've tried Pt Campbell too. Some bloody dangerous cliff edges I've been too. You gotta be silly and I was ( am ). The swell was huge and I copped a coupla huges waves that rolled in and crashed up onto the ledge I was on. Madness!

    I've got a coupla pics I'll put up from last Xmas o6. Bigger Snapper too.
    Bout 5.5 kilos.

    Gents??? How do I include some of your replys, txt you wrote, in a white box please in my replies. A quote from other replies I mean.


    Got a feeling I'll be the most prolific poster in the fishing forrum.

    Cheers Tony.

    Your on Steve!!!! And thankyou for the offer.

    Yep. You have a good size fish. Excellent. I want one too.
    Put up some more pics please.
    Can you keep me upto date, sometimes, with any good catches. I go to Tony Jones when I'm there to get filled in.

    Do you got to the Walthrorp Lagoon? I get all my baitfish there. I put a line in JUST before the submerged rock line where ther water cascades.
    Great spot.
    Wanna try Snapper point off the beach in Nov ( for my bthday ) and Dec.
    I'll be there around then.

    Great pic Steve and well done mate.

    Thanks....Tony.
