ppkayak 4 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Hi guys. Heading to victoria for a couple weeks in October. Spending a couple nights in warnambool a night in apollo bay and 2 nights in lorne. Not really aiming for any species on particular, just want to get out with my boy. Just wondering what to expect in that area in october. Also what laws do i need to watch out for etc? Thanks Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kuerschie 2,309 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Try the Hopkins River near Warnambool for bream, mullet, salmon. Don't forget to buy a Victorian fishing license as well. I believe you can buy them for a weekly duration rather than a single day or annual basis. bratko 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

archerfish 685 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I realise you have limited time over that way, ppkayak, but the Gellibrand River is another option between Warrnambool and Apollo Bay... http://www.exploreaustralia.net.au/Victoria/South-West-Coast/Princetown/Gellibrand-River/Fishing-spot Cheers af Quote Link to post Share on other sites
