Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this site, I am going to Victor Harbor soon and want to know what is biting around the bluff and what is the best bait to use.

ImageWent to Waitpinga bench and Encounter Bay yesterday, caught nothing but sand crabs at the beach but got a few interesting fish at Encouter Bay. We used squid and pipi as bait.ImageImage

 What kind of fish is the 2nd to last; green, above bucket w/hook in mouth?
Hi Larry it's a senator wrasse. They usually live near rocky shore and they like to pull your hook into rocks once being tackled. Colorful reef fish.

Hi Rob,
Waitpinga beach in Victor Harbour is famous for catching big Australian salmon. I went surf fishing there three times before but I never catch a salmon.(maybe I came at wrong timing) However there are many sand crabs and mullets around there. Goolwa beach near Victor Harbour is great for digging out fresh pipi(cockles/clams). Wish you good luck on your fishing trip there.
Cheers,
Kin 
Thanks mate, I'll give the wharf at the bluff a go and see what I catch, hopefully can post some pictures of tommies and squid. Rob 
 Cheers! Looking forward to see some interesting catch from you.
