The fishing options this past week have been plentiful with inshore, offshore and freshwater fishing really well.
Inside the bay has still got a great share of species on offer for anglers with land based fishos picking up some nice fish.
Pinky snapper, flathead and Australian salmon have all been prolific, especially around the Geelong waterfront.
Anglers dropping baits such as bluebait, squid and pipis have all been getting fish and so too has soft plastics. Gulp Turtleback worms have been a standout (as usual) and 4 inch Minnows have also been accounting for a good share of fish.
Moving to the outer harbour and King George whiting remain on the chew on the northern side of the bay towards Bird Rock with reports of anglers picking up some fantastic fish over that way and seeming to be holding in good numbers too.
Again, squid and pipis are the standout baits for this area and having some burley in the water will help get the fish to you and hold them there.
There have also been quite a few squid holding in this area too. Size 3.0 jigs in natural colours are going to get the job done there.
Offshore Barwon Heads still has a good tuna bite on at the moment. The hype behind it all has slowed down a little but there is still plenty of fish on offer.
Anglers trolling skirts with spreader bars and diving lures are picking up plenty and of course during the poppers have been a standout again.
Fish have been ranging anywhere from 10kg to 20kg and there are sure to be some bigger fish getting about.
Wurdibuloc has been a bit of a hotspot this week with redfin on the chew and anglers have been having a blast, getting stuck into plenty of fish with some decent ones coming through.
Spinners, soft plastics, chatter baits and hardbody lures have all been getting eaten.
There are also a few trout on the go with shallow running jerk baits and spoons doing the damage.
