brent_brent_brent 1 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 st kilda of fthe end or up the top on the right hand side squid is the best you could easy catch 3 or 4 massive ones a night most close to 50kg or even the odd horse 100kg plus which i have caught out there a few times Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smokeykebab 175 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 torrens outlet on the beach side. pilchards or squid or any fillet of fish on a single or double hook running rig. had a ray on the size of a car bonnet before cutting the leader. or the garden island boardwalk using the same method.

Red1396235487 0 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 At the end of the Outer Harbour Breakwall you get the ''unstoppables'' apparently. Might be worth a look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack. 10 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 torrens outlet on the beach side. pilchards or squid or any fillet of fish on a single or double hook running rig. had a ray on the size of a car bonnet before cutting the leader. or the garden island boardwalk using the same method.I'll add the otherwide of the road to the hotwater outlet at the powerstation. Eitherside of the bridge there too. I have hooked some big rays chasing Mulloway in this general area, and seen some some very excited anglers that reckon they have hooked into world record jewies and refuse to be told their marathon efforts will be in vain Also that boardwalk has seen some nice eagle rays caught.I'm not a fan of rays, but have hooked plenty chasing Jew in estuary and Snapper offshore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ekul 0 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 everyone has covered pretty much alot of the spots we have fished. seen some rompas at brighton jetty.just remember dont be scared to cast into a foot of water. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

urhookedfish 12 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 The marina rockwall at Glenelg. Ie the rockwall where the fancy resteraunts are located.Fish either of these two breakwalls and you can get some thumping rays.The other place where if you use fresh whole squid you will be smoked by ray after ray is Marino rocks.

Peelin 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Cant believe you've had no interest at all, they are there.Are you staying in the one spot and berlying hard? 6 hours in the one spot down powerstation way with plenty of berly in the water should have the doormats poking aroud I'd have thought Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chunky 0 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 another 6 hours today in the port river ' date=' so ive fishing from the platform to the end just crabs everywhere, sub corp as far as i can go either side of it, in total ive dont about 48 hours an nothing , starting to think that there are no ray's in the port river [/quote']mate patience is a vertue,the time you have spent so for lacks in camarsume(sorry)to the time i ve put in fish less you need to keep at it and do your home work,keep a diary and right all in it it all ads up sooner or later fishing/hunting not catching /killing is what our sport is called,enjoy the jorney Quote Link to post Share on other sites
squid_king 0 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 if this rain stops, going to try at the power station, what type of burley do i use to get these door mats around ?fishing where the water comes of the station isnt there poles around an boats that are in the way ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenton 637 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Anything smelly,pilchards or fish frames chopped up well.I don't know how you will go there though as the current from the outlet might disperse your berley before it leads them to the bait,also it pretty rocky out deeper and i'd imagine they would bust you off cheers brenton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
squid_king 0 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 alright ill get get a chum mix happening, an might try the jetty an torrens island Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peelin 0 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I actually meant barkers inlet near the powerstation on the flats, not the powerstation/angus inlet with the rocks and stuff, sorry wasn't real clear. Anyways good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Booma 1,360 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I've been fishing the Outer Harbour area (Veitch Rd round to the Yacht Squadron) pretty hard since about Christmas (Land Based) and have only seen two rays (one little Eagle Ray and one Very big ray in the yacht marina)......both when I had berley in the water though.I haven't been targetting them though......I only have access to frozen baits and have found they just get destroyed by small bream and such in no time.
