1 P.O.Box 654 Tullamarine Vic 3043 Ph: Monthly Club News Visit our web site Greenvale Sport & Game Fishing Club News ABN March 1 st 2016 Support Our Sponsors NORTHSIDE ANGLER Trading as Presidents Report Dear Members, Some really, really good news this week for all Port Phillip Bay recreational fisherman and others that benefit from the fishing and Boating industry. The news that all but two commercial netters will be handing in their Licences as of April this year, which will only leave 8 long line licences and 2 netters working in the Bay until 2020 at the latest. 530 MAHONEYS ROAD CAMPBELFIELD FOR ALL BAIT AND TACKLE NEEDS PHONE JOE or FRAN on (03) Victoria s home of Haines Hunter boats Yamaha outboards and Mackay Trailers New & Used boats See Phil Pierias at 2/10 Wallace Avenue, Point Cook Ph: sales@portphillipboatingcentre.com.au If anyone has any pictures or fishing reports that they would be happy to share with other club members in future newsletters, please send them to Joe Barresi on or jbarresi1@hotmail.com. Let s hope this fishery improves and we can all benefit from the change, as it did in Western Port when they removed all netting activity. In addition the announcement of scallops being harvested by hand is another good step in looking after the bays weed and grass beds, you would imagine it could only get better. As we see more controversy with the Geelong Star having other species trapped in the nets I don t think it will be too long till we ask for your support and rally together to send it away. Fishing has been really hot and I was lucky enough to have a week on the Marlin. With a really hot bite a few weeks earlier we hoped to do really well but as you all know there are no guarantees in fishing, but we manged to Get one that put a huge smileon our faces. There are some great junior comps coming up so I hope you can bring them along.

FISHING REPORTS: Local Waters: The whiting are still going strong along the western part of the bay with Werribee still producing good numbers along the Wedge Spit with pipes being the best bait.

Squid are also being caught in good numbers with Queenscliff and Flinders piers producing quality sizes.

The odd kingfish continue to be caught in close at Portland and with the warm weather on the way, the Kingfish bite should improve.

Lake Fyans is already heating up with good quality trout and redfin being caught regularly. Fisheries News February has been a busy month for the fish stocking team.

The receiving waters were: Cullulleraine Lake, Broken River, Numurkah Lake, Victoria Lake, Nagambie Lake (including the Goulburn River to Seymour), Sumsion Gardens Lake, Allans Flat Dredge Hole,

(Murchison), King Lake, Anderson Lake, Sambell Lake, Stanley Ditch Dam, Eldorado Dredge Hole, Seven Creeks and Arboretum Dam.

Reports of tuna at Portland continue to filter in with Matt Hunt producing quality school fish in close. The odd kingfish continue to be caught in close at Portland and with the warm weather on the way, the Kingfish bite should improve.
