Peninsula Total Tackle Report 12/3/2010

Unfortunately, the weather was against us for the long weekend. And although the punters descended on the Peninsula, the windows for fishing were rather small.

Staff Member Gavin picked up a number of quality snapper this week from 22m off Mt Martha. Snapper to 5kg were mixed among a healthy bag. All fish took pilchard baits. Customer Wayne also fished the same area and although he missed on the snapper he did manage a small Thresher Shark around four feet long!

John Cahill and Dave O'Brien fished for gummies on Sunday morning.  When the gummies didn't come out to play they turned their attention to collecting a feed... a nice mixed bag to salvage the day.

With the cooler weather approaching we have had plenty of interest in surf fishing. Customer George reports some good catches of Salmon from the Gunnamatta back beach. Fish to 55cm have been taking chicken baits. There are plenty of yellow eye mullet on offer for those so inclined.

For those fishing the piers, there have been some nice schools of small salmon in the shallows at Rosebud. Squid around 750g plentiful off Sorrento and gars remain a standout target for anyone wanting an easy feed.

Joe Bruno collects another hapless Calamari using his favourite jig of the moment, the Harimitsu EWC.

If you enjoy chasing a good feed, King George Whiting and calamari have also been fishing well off the ‘White Lady’ marker directly out from the Rye ramp.

A Sorrento squid.  Taken this week drifting directly in front of the pier.
