The Bellarine Peninsula continues to fish well with King George whiting and calamari all on the chew.

Clifton Springs through to Indented Head has been the current hotspot with King George whiting holding in fantastic numbers and a quality size to over 40cm.

Pippies have proved to be the most productive bait with fresh squid also doing damage.

Calamari have been holding in 2m to 3m of water with a variety of size from small right up to over 1.5kg. Size 3.0 jigs stand out with major craft Egizo jigs yet again being a standout brand. Natural greens, pinks and purples have all stood out again this week.

Offshore Boneheads has continued to fish really well for gummy sharks and snapper with plenty of reports coming through from the back of the rip ride all the way down to Anglesea along the 30 metre line.

Fresh baits like salmon and squid have proved yet again deadly and Black Magic snapper snatches have been accounting for plenty of fish, too.

Down the west coast school tuna and barrel tuna continue to bite from Port Fairy right through to Port MacDonnell.

School tuna have been hanging out the front of Lawrence Rock of Portland lately with lots of fish holding in the area taking a variety of lures with divers and skirts the favourites.

Port MacDonnell still continues to be the barrel hotspot with lots of reports coming in from the shallow as 15m right through to 30m holding lots of bait and

plenty of fish.

Live baits have yet again been the stand here and reports are coming out with anglers landing fish on skirting and diving lures.

Wurdee Buloc and Stony Creek Reservoirs have fished well with redfin holding tremendous numbers and still plenty of trout on offer. Spoon lures and soft plastics have been working best for the redfin allowing you to get a long cast and big shallow diving minnows have worked best with trout.
