The outer harbour this week has been a hot spot with snapper on the chew big time.
Around Clifton Springs has been very productive with anglers finding lots of fish ranging in size between 2kg and 6kg.
Fishing with pilchards and whole Californian squid has been the best baits and soft plastics have also been accounting for a few fish, too.
Peri Stavropoulos from Trellys Geelong had a really good session during the week after work landing over 10 fish for the night with the biggest touching just over 6kg.
With the snapper, anglers are also finding quite a few gummy sharks amongst them.
The inner harbour has also been fishing well for slightly smaller snapper both land based and from a boat.
Cunningham Pier has had reports of fish ranging either side of 1.5kg with baits working best.
There are still plenty of other species cruising around, such as salmon, flathead and whiting.
St Helens rocks has also been a productive location land based this past week.
Bluefin Tuna are still running riot offshore Barwon Heads with large numbers of fish pretty much everywhere. They are still busting up for very short spontaneous moments feeding on white bait so being at the ready with the stick baits ready to pounce.
Anglers trolling are picking up some fish but casting is proving to be by far the most successful tactic.
Down the west coast the barrel tuna are still chewing but due to poor weather it has been hard for anglers to get out there amongst the action but there are still reports coming through with Portland still holding fish and Port Mac has been starting to fire up to with fish coming through there at the moment.
Lake Purrumbete has been a popular location this past with trout and redfin all on the chew.
Casting on the weed edges with shallow running jerk baits or subsurface lures, such as bent minnows are by far some of the best to throw around. Redfin are as per usual in plague numbers and spread right across the lake.
