PAUL'S FISHING

Paul, Cristy and the IFISH crew fished the beaches of Mount Martha and Safety Beach, their aim was to catch land based garfish of which they achieved with over a dozen garfish up to 40cm caught. The key was to use heavier weighted floats so they could cast their maggots out further from the shoreline. Paul and Cristy then turned their garfish catch in to the most amazing garfish bruschetta.

On Sunday afternoon Paul and Jet snuck out for a quick fish out from Martha Cove. In just over 2 hours the boys landed over 50 garfish to 40cm. The best baits were maggots, silverfish and small pieces of pilchard. The rig was the Gamakatsu Long Shank size 12 set a metre under their float, berley was key to keep the fish in the area.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, Paul and Jet and the IFISH crew fished at Mount Martha beach. Jet started out catching a salmon a cast using 100mm Squidgies Wrigglers, small metal lures were also very successful. The team also caught some garfish from the beach and IFISH producer Tom Hughes caught and released a stonker bream.
