Weekly Fishing Report For March 17th 2022 - Tackle World Cranbourne & Mornington

Congratulations to twins, Kai and Beau on your cracking snapper catches off Mount Martha, you are this weeks Catch of the Week.

PAUL'S FISHING

Paul and the IFISH crew fished Western Port late last week out of Cowes. They fished with Nick from Savwinch and landed 40 massive King George whiting to 42cm in a quick 2 hour session. All fish were taken on a cocktail of Bushy’s mussels, pipi and squid on an extended paternoster rig with Gamakatsu size 6 long shank hooks. The Original Tumbler Scaler Bag did short work of cleaning their catch as can be seen in the comparison photo.

Paul, Cristy and Jet Worsteling fished Western Port on 2 occasions this past week and caught great numbers of whiting, huge silver trevally and good numbers of pinky snapper. All fish were caught in around 10-12 metres of water.

LAKE TYERS PRAWNS

Lake Tyers in Gippsland is fishing the best it has ever for Eastern King prawns due to the entrance closed before the prawns could do their annual run to sea. Hundreds of people fished there over the weekend and there are still millions of prawns stacked up at the front of the lake.

WIRF Leader Maddy and her family headed to Lake Tyers over the weekend and had a ball netting their limit of prawns in the shallows just near the Water Wheel Tavern.

Staff member Liz and her husband Rob took off to Lake Tyers over the weekend and caught their limit of prawns. They will make the most of their catch by vac-sealing the prawns and freezing them.

HASTINGS
