The tuna this week have well and truly shown the current bite offshore is not slowing down any time soon with thousands of fish out there and all seem to be in a feeding frenzy.
Anglers trolling anywhere from 20-60 metres with skirted lures and divers are proving to be irresistible with plenty of reports of boats having up to six-way hook-ups.
There is lots of fish being caught on top water, Nomad riptides have been a popular lure to throw around as of late.
Kingfish off Barwon Heads through to Torquay have also been in fantastic numbers with majority of fish being caught either jigging or casting top water lures.
Most fish have been around 60-75cm in length however there sure are plenty of bigger ones cruising about at the moment.
If you are after a big king then The Rip is definitely the place to look at the moment with reports of some genuine monsters being caught, some up to 130cm.
Dropping knife jigs in the deeper sections of The Rip has been working best and so too has live baiting with calamari or yakkas.
Running heavy gear is super necessary when fishing in this area as the bottom can be pretty brutal and those kings are going to go straight for it, so you will need to turn their heads pretty quick if you want to land them, while also dealing with the factor that there are a lot of seals there at the moment waiting for an easy feed.
The inner harbour of Corio Bay has been fishing quite well lately for pinkie snapper with reports of plenty of fish being caught right around the bay, in particular near and around the Geelong Waterfront.
Casting soft plastics in the area has been working an absolute treat with fish to 35cm holding in fantastic numbers along with some other species such as flathead and salmon.
Wurdi Buloc Reservoir has continued to fish very well over this past week with captures of redfin and trout still making reports.
Casting spoon style lures off the rocks has been super effective as it allows you to get a big cast out and cover more water.
Trevor Schiller managed to score himself a solid redfin measuring in at 49cm on a spinner whilst casting off the rocks.
