Catch: 4 x Blue Leather Jacket (1 big one)
1 x Squid (medium size)
3 x Whiting
+7 x Poo Fish
1 x Flathead (big)
Report: Great day of the tinny. Multiple locations used, main site straight out all deck visible. Pippie most succesful for catching fish other than Poo Fish. Flathead caught by most inexperienced fisher we all thought she was just snagged till she pulled it in the boat. Hooked up to, what could only have been, a big ray... shot away taking about 3/4 of the line then snapping the rod... shit!!

Ventnor Success
Location: Phillip Island - Secret Spot (Tinny)
Date: 28.06.08
Crew: Ross, Luke
Time: 9.30-11.30pm
Weather: 10-15 knots, small chop,cold
Target Fish: Whiting, anything else
Bait: Pippie (metal lure)
Berley: Tuna berley pellets with tuna oil mixed in
Catch: 21 x Whiting, 1 x Salmon, 2 x Snook
Report: What a catch! Biggest haul on the tinny yet. After 18 whiting had to start throwing them back. Nice size salmon found our berley trail, 30cm - 650grams. After 1.5 hours decided to throw on a small metal lure(blue back) and try my luck. On the second cast pulled in a nice sized Snook much to my amazment. Few more casts later pulled in a second. Prior to casting I made sure there was a good berley stream.
Note: Berley seems to work well if it has been soaking in a bit of water, breaks up nicely when thrown in and creates a nice cloud of fish food. With the tuna oil mixed in you can't beat it.
